* [[Older Than Feudalism]]: The ''Peach Blossom Spring'', a short story written by famed Chinese poet Táo​ Yuān​míng, a.k.a. Táo Qián (365–427), in which a fisherman gets lost and finds an idyllic [[Mary Suetopia]] founded before the Warring States Period.
 
== [[Live -Action TV]] ==
* ''[[Star Trek: The Original TOSSeries]]'' had several of these, where the Enterprise visited worlds that had either deliberate recreations of earlier eras on Earth: the gangs of Chicago, or NAZI Germany; or where parallel development had recreated Earth cultures: the Roman Empire, a 1960s Earth where an attempt to stop aging wiped out all the adults, or a world where the cold war had turned hot, and the surviving "Yangs" (Yanks) and "Comms" (Communists) have been thrown back to near stone-age technologies, but are still trying to kill each other.
* The [[X-Files]] episode "Gender Bender" had a group called the "Kindred" that were Amish-type throwbacks. Except they had super powers of seduction, and changed genders after sex, and might have been aliens. But not like the other aliens on the show. At all.
