A game in which you roll a heavy ball down a narrow track toward a group of wooden objects called pins and try to knock down as many of them as possible than an opponent. It is also called as tenpins. Bowling is one of the oldest games in the world, with balls, pins and other gear discovered in a 5200-year-old childrens' tomb in Egypt. This is how we know an early form of bowling existed in Ancient Egypt. A similar game was played at fairs and celebrations in 200 A.D. Germany.
