It is said that he origins of carnival come from ancient Egypt and Rome. What is now today as Carnival, were parties celebrated in Egypt as far back as 4000 BC. In Egypt, the festival was said to be celebrated as the seasons transitioned from winter to spring. Once Egypt was conquered by Alexander the Great, the ancient Greek people embraced the tradition and began to give it a more religious subtext. The Romans engaged in celebrations with excessive drinking to celebrate Bacchus, the God of wine; these celebrations would also include food and dancing. These were said to be mystic celebrations due to the uninhibited actions of the party-goers, and many would wear masks and costumes. This tradition has been carried down and is now why there are masked costume balls and secrecy surrounding the ensembles of the people who participate in parades with celebrations of costumes, music and dancing.
The term bacchannalian, from Bacchus, is still to these days used to define drunken parties, with plenty of wine and other alcoholic beverages, usually loud and rowdy.
