A History of Bowling – Ancient Times
Tenpin Bowling. A target sport with balls, pins, and epic shoes.
An afternoon of bowling is a fond memory for millions.
There’s nothing better than rolling a ball down a shiny wooden lane toward a pyramid
of iconic white and red nine pins.
If you’re like us you’ll agree it’s one of the best games played indoors to relax and have fun with friends.
But where did it come from? When was bowling invented?
You could be mistaken in thinking the bowling game is relatively new.
With its automatic pin setting machines, mini TV’s to show game scores
and amazing modern bowling clubs and venues.
However, that couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact not only that it is not a modern game,
bowling is one of the oldest games in the world.
Over a series of posts, we’ll take you through the entire history of this amazing game.
From the sand-swept pyramids of ancient Egypt to the modern-day bowling alleys or venues
we all know and love today.

Millions Compete Worldwide
Over 100 million people bowl in more than 80 countries every year.
It’s one of the most played indoor sports on Earth. Also, one of the oldest ones.
Archaeologists discovered miniature pins and balls in an Egyptian tomb dated to 3200 BC,
proving bowling’s ancient origins. By the 14th century, bowling grew so popular in England
that King Edward III banned it to keep archers practicing.
The modern version of bowling took shape in 1895, when the American Bowling Congress
formed in the United States.
