Let’s Go Bowling!
來去打保齡球！
With more than a hundred million players worldwide, bowling is one of the most popular sports on the planet. Just roll a ball down a lane and knock over some pins. Easy, right? But the story of bowling is anything but a straight roll down center lane.
In the 1930s, Sir Flinders Petrie found some curious objects in an Egyptian child’s grave. Those objects appeared to be related to bowling and were dated to 3200 BCE.
保齡球是世界上最受歡迎的運動之一，全球有超過一億人為此著迷。只要將球沿著球道滾出去，撞倒一些保齡球瓶就行了。很簡單，對吧？不過保齡球的故事絕對比在中間球道直直滾動的球來得曲折多了。
在 1930 年代，弗林德斯．皮特里爵士在一座埃及兒童的墓中發現了一些奇特的物品。這些物品似乎與保齡球有關，可追溯至西元前 3200 年。
