# Ancient Egyptian Nile Inundation Festival

> Institutionalized celebration of the annual flood regulated by pharaonic decree demonstrates the entanglement of environmental cycles with state power and collective ceremony.

## Summary

The question of the race of the people of ancient Egypt was raised historically as a product of the early racial concepts of the 18th and 19th centuries, and was linked to models of racial hierarchy primarily based on craniometry and anthropometry. A variety of views circulated about the racial identity of the Egyptians and the source of their culture.
