Best Answer

The ancient Egyptians personified the river flood as the god Hapy and dedicated a Hymn to the Nile to celebrate it and during the Eleventh Dynasty a sanctuary was built on Elephantine Island near the First Cataract deep in southern Egypt specifically to celebrate Inundations. Also, statues of the god of life 'Amon' would be taken by boat up the Nile. The people danced, sang, and feasted for days, after which the statues were returned to the temples.

They celebrated. The Nile deposited rich soil from up stream and watered the land. The flooding was a form of renewal.
