The Fast Ball Game: Pharaonic Bowling

Have you ever gone to a bowling alley to throw a heavy ball and knock down wooden pins? You will be amazed to know that kids in ancient Egypt played this super fun game thousands of years ago! Archaeologists discovered really smooth stone balls and pieces shaped like tiny vases set up for playing inside their tombs. They rolled the stone balls fast and with tons of excitement down long lanes to knock the pieces over. It's an awesome sport that proves kids in the past loved having fun and a good challenge just as much as kids today!

How many bowling pins do you think you can knock down in one powerful throw to become the game's champion?
