Throwing balls toward a target is one of the oldest games known in history. As early as 5000 B.C. the Egyptians played a form of bocce with polished rocks. Bocce was first documented from a painting found in an Egyptian tomb. The painting, dating to 5200 B.C., was of two boys playing the game similar to the one we play 7,200 years later.
