Did an Egyptologist discover the origins of bowling while studying ancient monuments?
In short: This video examines the work of Flinders Petrie, a renowned 19th-century Egyptologist, to determine if his archaeological methods shed light on the origins of bowling.
In 1895, Flinders Petrie was considered a leading figure in Egyptology. His career began much earlier; in 1877, at age 24, he published Inductive Metrology, a study detailing the precise measurements of Stonehenge. By applying comprehensive measurements and analyzing historical lunar and solar cycles, Petrie pioneered a new approach to theorizing how and why ancient structures were constructed.
While Petrie is celebrated for his rigorous archaeological techniques, the video investigates how these historical investigations intersect with the history of bowling.
