I wanted to ask you something. Which is... what's your name? This article title is conjecture. Although the article subject is canon, no official name for it has been given. |
The Dromos was the walkway into the ruins of an Egyptian temple within the town of Soknopaiou Nesos in Faiyum, Egypt, during the 1st century BCE.
Around 48 BCE the Medjay Bayek of Siwa visited the location, finding food scraps and Greek wine.[1]. A Greek local the Medjay talked to believed a recently deceased man had brought the "Curse of Wadjet" on himself by having a feast on the dromos, despite others telling him that it was sacrilege.[2]
Trivia
- Δρόμος (drómos) is the Greek word meaning 'racetrack, course, avenue'. It was also used of a walkway leading to a building, especially a ceremonial one, like those found leading to temples or tombs in Ancient Greece or Egypt.
