Bowling refers to a series of sports or leisure activities in which a player rolls or throws a bowling ball towards a target. It is one of the major forms of throwing sports. In pin bowling variations, the target is usually to knock over pins at the end of a lane. In target variations, the aim is usually to get the ball as close to a mark as possible.
The type of bowling played in the US, known as tenpin bowling, was brought over by the Europeans and is derived from the Germans, so it would be considered European in nature. The Ancient Egyptians did have artifacts in their tombs related to bowling, but as a people we are unsure if they were the inventors of the game. Also bowling is a general term. It refers to many different sports.
