round balls and flat round disks. They attempted to hit the disks with the balls.

Two thousand years before the first pyramid was built, the Egyptians, according to
archaeologists, played a similar game to ninepins. Ninepins is the game from which modern bowling
developed. It is interesting to note that people as far apart as the Nile River and the Pacific Ocean
played a very similar game.
