Artifis tries to sabotage the construction by convincing the workers to go on strike, bribing the stone-delivery man to throw his load away, kidnapping Edifis, sending Cleopatra a poisoned cake and blaming the Gauls for it, and having the Gauls locked up in a pyramid. Big Bad Ensemble: Julius Ceasar and Artifis act as two separate big bads who, despite their common goal (both want to see Edifis fail) never join forces.The Gauls are able to survive both attempts, and Artifis and his lacky Krukhut are forced to work on the palace without magic potion. Artifis tries to get rid of the Gauls by first trying to trap them in a pyramid, then framing them for attempting to poison Cleopatra and kidnapping Edifis. Artifis incites a worker's rebellion, and sabotages shipments of stone, but both are stopped by the magic potion. The construction of the palace is inhibited by Edifis' rival Artifis, who would love to see the former fed to the crocs. Since such a thing would not be possible without magic, Edifis goes to Gaul and enlist the aid of his friend Getafix, with Asterix, Obelix, and Dogmatix along for the ride. The Queen of the Nile warns her architect Edifis that if he fails to make the three-month time limit, he will be fed to the crocodiles. To prove him wrong, Cleopatra declares that she will have a palace for him built within three months. Julius Caesar has insulted Cleopatra VII by saying that the Egyptians have become decadent.
