They say bowling is a sport for people who have the talent to spare. See what we did there? Pun aside, bowling has a long and rich history. Today, it is one of the most popular sports in the United States, with more than 67 million people bowling in a year!
Bowling, as we know it today, is only a few thousand years old. The first indoor bowling alley was built in New York City in 1840. Now the United States has one of the largest bowling alleys in the world, located in Las Vegas, Nevada.
According to the International Bowling Museum and Hall of Fame, a British anthropologist named Sir Flinders Petrie uncovered evidence of bowling objects in a children's tomb in Egypt that was 5200 years old in the 1930s. According to a German historian, William Pehle, bowling was first played in Germany in 300 AD. There is a lot of evidence to suggest that bowling was also popular in England. King Edward III even had to ban it because it was too distracting for warriors who were supposed to be training.
