Unfortunately I don't think that Egyptologists need such a reputable source to be discredited. They do a satisfactory job all of their own.

From what I understand, the 10th pin was added to circumvent the ban on "ninepins" in the 19th century

So, aliens invented bowling. Got it.

Allegendly, Beard Whistler is actually considered by the British government to be Simon’s legal guardian. He doesn’t even have a passport or driver license... it’s the Beard. All the pics and video are just Simon’s face in the background while The Beard actually does all the work. Some believe that Simon is actually just a puppet, controlled by The Beard... so one asks: is Simon “Simon”? Or is it The Beard that’s named Simon and the guy in the video is just The Beard’s human meat-puppet..?

I grew up in bowling alleys and worked in them as well. Other than turkey I've never heard any of those other terms. Anything over three strikes is usually called, for example, a four bagger, five bagger, etc. Twelve strikes in a single game is known simply as a perfect game.

I loved the bonus facts. I'm going to have to show my father this one. Great job you guys. 👍

Soooo... Now I know why everyone was VERY impressed with my three consecutive strikes! Too bad, I thought I was playing baseball.

Simon's are the only videos I always watch to the end and sometimes I even sit around for the ad after, just in case I can further enrich him.

Now I want a BB on 'The History Channel' and Ancient Aliens and the like.... Simon could really take the piss out 😂

"Ancient Balls" good thumbnail u got me :)

Title card: *exists Everyone who watched this: You had my curiosity, now you have my attention

Been watching some early Simon videos, he's really found his 'blaze' over the past few year's.

Donny from The Big Lebowski originally invented bowling. But he was out of his element.

not going to lie, i only read the text on the thumbnail and not the actual title. So naturally a video on bowling isn't what i expected when the video started. 😂

Simon's pleading with us to keep watching. I think quarantine has finally broken him.

I was expecting something a bit more shifty than "father of pots"

in florida most call it a badger when you get 4 consecutive strikes. something about how someone typo'd 4 bagger in the system and shipped it out that way

Mesoamericans had something like ball court bowling and soccer long before either of those things were in Europe. Maybe the Spanish found them and mistook them for something back home, like they did the El Dorado.

Did anyone else get a mental picture of the Big Labowski in Egyptian garb?

To answer a few questions that I read in the comments: *King Edward III put that ban on bowling in 1366.... as stated his army men spent too much time playing it. *King Edward VIII amended the ban so that nobility could play this sport (the ban was lifted in 1845). *During the ban, the 9 pin game became ‘skittles’, played outdoors on smooth patches of ground... using wooden balls or a smaller tabletop game played indoors at inns and pubs. (Which usually included gambling and crime, and this led to it getting a poor reputation). *In 1834 a Washington, DC ordinance limited bowling to before 8pm and not on Sundays nor within 100 yards of inhabited houses. In 1841a law in Connecticut banned ownership of the 9 pin bowling alleys ...... So..... to get around the law, the tenth pin was added. *Finding an exact date for when ‘points’ accrued in bowling, well...... didn’t find that answer (but would hazard a guess that it was around for gambling odds and such). Also, in casual bowling of a 300....... it is not recognized by the Professional Bowlers Association or any of the others but may be honored by local bowling center (with a plaque or trophy).

I haven't gone bowling since 2013.
