In fiction, you can expect an [[Adventurer Archaeologist]] to discover a [[Lost World]] with supposedly extinct species still living. See also [[Retro Universe]], where the whole world is like this, although somewhat more likely to incorporate history-flavored versions of present-day technology or sensibilities. |
