Bowling
Bowling is a game in which players attempt to score points by rolling a bowling ball along a flat surface either into objects called pins or to get close to a target ball. There are many forms of bowling, with the most recent being ten-pin bowling and the earliest dating back to ancient Egypt[1], [2]. Other places where bowling was first seen were ancient Finland and Yemen[citation needed], and in 300 A.D. in Germany[1], [2].
