The Gauls are intercepted by Artifis' sidekick Krukhut, who poses as a guide with the intention of getting the Gauls lost during a tour of the Great Pyramid. In his attempt to scale the Sphinx, Obelix provides an outlandish hypothesis as to how the monument came to be without a nose. Sightseeing en route, the trio visit the Pyramids at Giza. Building progress becomes so rapid that the labourers exhaust their supplies of stone Artifis has bribed the supplier to dump the subsequent shipment into the Nile and the Gauls are forced to escort a fleet of ships to fetch more. Getafix refuses to give any to Obelix, much to his disgruntlement. To win them over and enhance their productivity, Getafix gives the workers his magic potion which enables them to continue effortlessly with the construction of the palace. Edifis refuses and Artifis swears vengeance, angered further by the injuries he sustains while negotiating Edifis' house (which later collapses altogether).Īrtifis raises tensions amongst the construction workers by convincing them that they are being exploited by Edifis and encourages them to strike. His scheming rival Artifis proposes that they collaborate in order to build Caesar's palace on time and divide the reward between them the catch being that Edifis alone be thrown to the crocodiles should they fail.
Upon reaching Egypt, it becomes clear that Edifis is not a particularly gifted architect in Cleopatra's words his buildings are “the laughing stock of those who don't live in them”. Poetic justice rules the day as the pirate ship is boarded by Asterix and Obelix, who scuttle it after a largely one-sided fight. En route to Egypt, Edifis' ship is met by a gang of pirates. Obelix further insists thatDogmatix be allowed to join the voyage and smuggles him along despite objections from Asterix. Getafix agrees to return to Egypt with Edifis, while Asterix and Obelix insist on accompanying them. Daunted and distraught, believing the task to be insurmountable without some sort of magic, Edifis travels toGaul to seek help from the famous druid Getafix. She gives this enormous task to her best architect Edifis (despite his shortcomings), informing him that he will be covered with gold if he succeeds or thrown to thecrocodiles if he fails. It will appear on Pandora.TV in the near future.Īfter a heated argument with Julius Caesar over his lack of faith in the Egyptian people, Queen Cleopatra enters into a bet claiming that she can have a magnificent palace constructed for him in Alexandria within three months.
Pooh's Adventures of Asterix and Cleopatra is another upcoming Winnie the Pooh/Asterix Crossover film to be created by 76859Thomas.
