Definition
- Skittles, related in many ways to Ten-Pin Bowling, involves throwing a ball at a number of skittles. The British archaeologist Sir Flinders Petrie found a ball and skittles in a tomb of an Ancient Egyptian child dating back to 5200 b.c.E. and this illustrates the ancient origins of both skittles and bowling.
