Plot summary

Cleopatra wagers Julius Caesar that the Egyptians can build a palace at Alexandria within three months, larger than his palace in Rome; if they succeed, he must admit Egypt's greatness. The task falls to the architect Numérobis, and failure would cost him his life. Cleopatra's usual architect, Pyradonis, is unhappy to have been passed over. Numérobis seeks out the druid Getafix, whose potion gives its drinkers supernatural strength, and Astérix and Obélix travel with the old druid to Egypt.
