Description
How can lovely Queen Cleopatra show Julius Caesar that ancient Egypt is still a great nation? Her architect Edifis recruits his Gaulish friends to help him build a magnificent palace within three months. There are villainous saboteurs to be outwitted, but Asterix, Obelix and Getafix still find time to go sight-seeing - and leave their mark on the pyramids and the Sphinx's nose.

I'm actually giving the 4 stars to the English edition - I bought this one because I was curious how the puns were handled in the original. My french isn't good enough to appreciate it. (But this edition has translations and explanations, which I hadn't expected.)
The Asterix stories are great fun!

Five out of ten. CBR format.
Cleopatra promises Caesar that she can build the Romans a paace within three months. She'll need Asterix and Obelix's help if she is to keep that promise.

Cleopatra orders her servant, Edifis, to create a palace in three months, so he calls upon his druid friend, Getafix, to help him build it in time. It's a Road Trip to Alexandria for Getafix, Asterix, Obelix, and their puppy, Dogmatix.
Puns abound, artwork is great, what's not to love?

Another hilarious entry in the Asterix series. And again, Uderzo's artwork is amazing.
