Dromos, Soknopaiou Nesos

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[edit | edit source]

  • 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.
  • On its walkway, Bayek made an observation on the litter left behind:
    "Empty bottles of Greek wine and food scraps lie strewn across the Egyptian temple dromos. Revelers have been using the area for their celebrations, blaspheming the holy corridor to the gods."
