Past Right Now: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

This is where something is much like the past, either preserved through [[Hidden Elf Village|isolation]] or deliberately re-created, but definitely existing in the present day. No time machines here! Many real-life and fictional theme parks will play on this trope. Some take it to greater extents than others. 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.
