WALK LIKE AN EGYPTIAN BOWLING
The crudest form of bowling appears to date back to 3200 BC in Egypt, discovered in a collection of objects in a child’s
grave. German historian Sir Pehle asserts that bowling in his country dates back to 300 AD, and there is substantial
evidence that it was in vogue in England in 1366, when King Edward III allegedly outlawed it to keep his troops focused on

archery practice. Evidence that avid bowlers Fred and Barney of the Flintstones predates them all, has not yet been found
in the ‘Bedrock’. Today, 10-pin bowling is popular throughout the world, while 5-pin bowling is the standard in Canada.
