(2018)

[I have imagined that] 

around December 1963, an archeologist [maybe his name was John Himellman] went to an archaeological excavation in the Sahara Desert.

[I have also imagined] that during a random morning excavation, he were very lucky to spot a breed of rare rodent. He called it 'Queen of Hearts' Because he fell in love with it immediately.
