Soora Pappa Cleopatra Part1

The book begins with an argument between Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt, and Julius Caesar, in which Caesar belittles the accomplishments of the Egyptian people. Infuriated, Cleopatra makes a wager with Caesar promising to build a new palace in Alexandria within three months. Cleopatra summons Maka Bass, who claims to be the best architect in Egypt. She promises Maka Bass that if he builds the palace on time he will be covered with gold; if he fails, he will be a meal for the sacred crocodiles.
