In this video:
This story starts with the turn of the century archeologist William Matthews Flinders Petrie, or simply Flinders Petrie. By 1895, he had already established himself as, perhaps, the world’s leading Egyptologist. 18 years earlier, at the young age of 24, Petrie had published his work Inductive Metrology; or, The Recovery of Ancient Measures from the Monuments in which he detailed measurements of Stonehenge. Using those, he made hypothesizes about how, when, and why the strange structure was built. It was one of the first times any archeologist had attempted comprehensive measuring (with estimated knowledge of historical sun and lunar cycles) to establish theories on ancient structures.

Imagine your greatest finds in Egyptian tombs being discredited by the INTERNATIONAL BOWLING MUSEUM. That makes all those decades of digging worthwhile.

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

@ArmchairDeity 4 года назад

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.

And I understand those videos take a lot of time to write,produce, edit, post and follow up. A good 20% of a your work ends up not generating any revenue because of this.

@slcRN1971 2 года назад

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).
