DROMO Argentine horror and science fiction television series (2009). Dromos , plural , ( from the Greek dromos , race track? ) is an entrance passage or avenue that leads to a building, tomb or hallway. There are many important dromos in Egypt, which were, fundamentally, avenues flanked by statues and monuments leading from one pyramid to another, or from a pyramid to the pier of a river. The most outstanding are the dromos that joins the first pylon of the temple of Amun in Karnak with the jetty of a channel of the Nile River, flanked by cryocephalic sphinxes. The second is the Avenue of the Sphinxes, the dromos linking the temple of Amun at Karnak with the temple of Mut, flanked by sphinxes with the body of a lion and the head of a ram.
