The renowned Anton. K . Unchokov(1802-1878, Russia ) known as professor Unchoko is remembered most for his discovery of an “Authentic Egyptian pyramid” in the suburb of London. He reveled in celebrity until it was revealed that he had been the victim of a prank, After which he lost total credibility in the eyes of the scientific world.
After a recent recovery of his latest work in an attic by his great great grandson, a whole new light was cast on the popular story “blue bird.” The professor had discovered irrefutable proofs of the existence of a palace known as happiness palace. Among the many treasures were the remains of the palace’s center garden, and a detailed journal noting his discoveries.
Unfortunately, while the exact location of his search is still unknown, the journal entries detailed a culturally advanced civilization governed by the emotions of happiness.
