Revealedix: the Gaul of Asterix was no joke after all The Telegraph Group Published: September 02, 2007, 23:30 Fighting with his bare fists, and massively outnumbered, France's cockiest Gaul, Asterix, led a brave rebellion against the Roman occupier. Not only was his little village encircled by Julius Caesar's troops, it was up against an expanding empire - unequalled in the art of warfare and determined to civilise a backward people who worshipped druids and believed in magic potions. Or so it was thought until now.

The Gaulish "Asterix" cartoon character turns out to be the representative of a relatively advanced civilization, according to tentative findings of researchers.

The story addresses the issue of whether the cartoon will get re-drawn to reflect a civilization more advanced than that depicted in the comic.

Yeah. And one day Disney will fix all of the horrible changes they affected on classic books in the name of cinema.
