Synopsis:

The Egyptian Queen Cleopatra bets against the Roman Emperor, Julius Caesar, that her people are still great, even if the times of the Pharaohs has long passed. She vows (against all logic) to build a new palace for Caesar within three months. Since all her architects are either busy otherwise or too conservative in style, this ambivalent honor falls to Edifis. He is to build the palace and be covered in gold or, if not, his fate is to be eaten by crocodiles. Edifis calls upon an old friend to help him out: The fabulous Druid Getafix from Gaul, who brews a fantastic potion that gives supernatural strength. In order to help and protect the old Druid, Asterix and Obelix accompany him on his journey to Egypt. When Julius Caesar gets wind of the project succeeding, he has the building site attacked by his troops in order to win the bet and not lose face. But just like the local pirates, he hasn't counted on Asterix and Obelix.

Cleopatra beats Julius Caesar that if she succeeds in having a sumptuous palace built in his honour in just three months he will proclaim the Egyptians to be the greatest people on Earth. Edifice, the poor architect entrusted with the construction of the legendary Caesar's Palace, faces an impossible task unless he can lay his hands on some of the legendary magic potion that powers up the Gauls in one particular village that has always resisted Roman conquest. Asterix,Obelix and the druid Getafix come to the aid of the hapless architect - but will the building be finished on time?
