Asterix and Cleopatra

Julius Caesar is having an argument with Cleopatra,The Egyptian queen.Caesar finally says that the egyptians have done nothing great when compared to the Romans and so the romans are greater then Cleopatra's people.Cleopatra resists this and argues further.Finally Cleopatra makes a bet to Caesar thet her people will build a magnicifcent new palace for Caesar within three months.After this Cleopatra summons Edfis, one of the best architects in Egypt to complete the task.If succesful He was to be covered with gold coins otherwise the sacred crocodiles of Egypt were in for a feast!.Edfis could not defy a royal order, so he sets off to gaul to ask for help

                                                  As soon as he landed in gaul he asked the help of Getafix to build the palace.Geatfix agrees to go and with him go Asterix and Obelix.Dogmatix is forbade by Asterix not to come as he was too little for such a big journey.Obelix accepts with great resistance.

                                                  The work goes on schedule thanks to the magic potion brewed by Getafix even  they were slowed down by Artfis, an arch rival of Edfis.The building is on the verge of completion when Caesar sends some legions to interrupt.The Gauls put up a resistance.Very soon the Romans start bombarding the palace with stones.Obelix sends a message to Cleopatra through Dogmatix.Cleopatra gets to know of the recent doings of Caesar and sets off immediately to the construction site where Julius Ceasar gets a good set of scoldings from the Egyptian Queen.The Romans were ordered to repair the palace.

                                                  Cleopatra wins her bet.Finally Edfis is covered with gold,Getafix with scrolls and manuscripts.As usual a banquet is held in Armorican village without Cacofonix the bard of course!
