Many have probably heard that in ancient times, even before our official history, there were such mystical places as Atlantis, Hyperborea, and Shambhala.
Many modern scientists doubt their existence. All sorts of fantastic descriptions of these countries are a reason for doubt. Allegedly, the people who lived there were technically superior to us. It was also described that it was very difficult for ordinary people to get there. And the most famous reason for doubts is that there is almost no geographical data of their stay. That is, no one knows where they were.
However, we may be thinking too limitedly. What if we need to look not only for their place of stay, but also for the time of their stay.
Imagine that a time machine could actually exist. Then this fact will make it possible that those countries that are described in the legends are in fact in the future.
This would explain why the people described there were technically superior to us. In fact, they had technologies of the future that had not yet been invented in our time. The names of the countries are a disguise, so that people of the past do not know which countries are actually in question in case of contact with them.
Example:
Imagine that a time machine is used in Russia. Our people travel to the distant past. To the inhabitants of the past, they say that they came from a distant country. What's the best name for her disguise? Russia is a country in the north. Moreover, it occupies most of the north. That is, it is the big north. What is the name of the ancient country like the greater north. Hyperborea is best suited. One of the variants of the translation of Hyperborea from Greek may sound like "Great North Wind". So this name is perfect for disguising our country.
Also with other countries.

Perhaps these countries sent temporary nomads.
Flying far into the past even before the history of ancient Egypt (the difference can be thousands of years), people from the future erected temporary cities in which they could live for some time. Then, when the time of our history came, these cities were destroyed: they were buried or flooded. That is, they tried to hide them so that no temporary paradoxes would arise.
People in our time often wonder: if legendary countries existed, then why did they disappear. However, if these are the countries of the future, then all this time these countries have been under our noses. They did not disappear anywhere. And we just did not notice them.
