Time Traveling
Jophar Vorin
Among the individuals who have claimed to originate from places that are believed not to exist, the Man from Taured is undoubtedly the most iconic case. However, he is not the only documented instance. Throughout history, there have been various accounts of people who suddenly appeared, claiming to hail from locations that do not seem to exist. Often, the legitimacy of their backgrounds was called into question, as there was uncertainty about the existence of their families. These individuals further intrigued onlookers because they lacked identification from any country and spoke unfamiliar languages. All these characteristics suggested that they might have come from a parallel universe.
One particularly peculiar case is that of Jophar Vorin, which has been referenced in numerous European and American publications from the mid-19th century. In this article, I will explore the remarkable time travel story of this enigmatic man from the 19th century, who claimed to be from another world or parallel universe. According to reports from 1850, local authorities in a small town in the Lebas district, near Frankfurt, discovered an unknown man wandering along the beach with a confused and distressed expression. Judging his behavior to be suspicious, they decided to escort him to the barracks for further questioning.
During the interrogation, he identified himself as Jophar Vorin, originally from Laxaria, a country located in the northern part of the world known as Sakria. Laxaria is situated hundreds of miles from Europe, separated from the continent by vast oceans. Jophar was traveling in search of his missing brother when his ship was wrecked. He claimed that his brother was an explorer who had been sent to what they referred to as the “New World,” pointing to Europe on the map.
While failing to explain or indicate the path he took to arrive at this conclusion, he revealed that his race possessed considerable geographical knowledge and referred to the five continents as Sakria, Aflar, Astar, Auslar, and Euplar. Thinkers believe he may have accidentally entered our dimension, and scholars from Frankfurt concluded that he was not crazy. His story was considered plausible, leading them to send him to Berlin for further studies and research. However, during the trip, in the midst of a hysterical fit, he threw himself out of the carriage and disappeared into the surrounding woods.
Despite extensive searches, no trace of him was found; he vanished as mysteriously as he had arrived. Due to interdimensional travel, it is possible that his body returned to his world within the forest. Just as Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America are continents in our world, continents like Sakria, Aflar, Astar, Auslar, and Euplar may exist in that parallel world. How can a person slip away from their time hundreds or even thousands of years ago? Even science does not have an answer to these alleged incidents.
The Man from Taured
In July 1954, a man arrived at Haneda International Airport in Tokyo, Japan. His appearance was ordinary, but his beard and Western-style clothing suggested he was Caucasian. According to the most widely known version of the story, some officials, suspicious of the man’s cautious behavior, decided to monitor him. During check-in, he claimed to be from an unknown country called Taured.
When interrogated and asked to show the geographical location of his country on a map, the man, a native French speaker who also spoke Japanese and other languages, pointed to the area occupied by the Principality of Andorra. He expressed disappointment at not finding the name “Taured” on the map. He insisted that his homeland had existed for over 1,000 years and should certainly be listed.
The Japanese officers, unsure of how to proceed, suspected that the foreigner might be a criminal and detained him in a hotel room under guard to investigate the mystery of his identity. Although the company he claimed to work for denied knowing him, he presented extensive documentation that contradicted their statements. Additionally, the bank that issued his checkbook could not be identified, and he also had cash in various European currencies. His passport was stamped by several airports around the world, including Tokyo. How could he possess a passport from Taured stamped in multiple countries?
The following morning, after being unable to resolve the many unanswered questions, the officials returned to interrogate the “prisoner” again. However, when they opened the door, they discovered that the man from Taured had vanished without a trace. He could not have exited through the door under guard or jumped from the high window.
Known since then as “the man without a homeland” or “the mystery of Taured,” he disappeared completely, leaving behind unanswered questions. Even all his documents, which could have validated his claims, had vanished.
Green Children
Woolpit is a village in the English county of Suffolk, situated halfway between Bury St Edmunds and Stowmarket. It is famous for the legend of the Green Children. To this day, it remains unclear whether this story is purely a legend or an actual historical mystery, as it is documented by two different 12th-century sources: the *Chronicon Anglicanum* by Abbot Ralph of Coggeshall and the *Historia rerum Anglicarum* by historian William Parvus.
According to accounts from the 12th century, possibly during the reign of King Stephen of England or King Henry II, a harvester discovered two strange children, a brother and sister, in a canal within the village of Woolpit. These children exhibited unusual characteristics: their clothing was unlike anything seen in the village, they spoke an unknown language, and, most notably, they had green skin. No one recognized them or knew where they came from, so they were brought to the village and welcomed into the home of Mr. Richard de Caine of Wilkes, the local landowner.
Though hungry, the children initially refused to eat any food offered to them until the villagers provided some raw beans, which they consumed eagerly and relied on for sustenance for several months. Tragically, the male child fell ill and died shortly after being baptized. The girl, who took the name Agnes Barre, began to eat a varied diet, lost her green skin color, adapted to her new life, learned to speak English, and eventually married a man in King’s Lynn.
Agnes shared her story, explaining that she and her brother came from a land where the sun never shone, and where the light resembled that of dusk. In William Parvus’s accounts, she referred to this place as St Martin’s Land and couldn’t explain how she ended up in Woolpit. She recounted that she and her brother were tending to their father’s cattle when they heard a loud noise and suddenly found themselves where the reaper discovered them. Abbot Ralph, on the other hand, reported that the children had chased an animal into a cave and, after getting lost, were guided to the light of our world by the sound of bells.
The interpretations of the peculiar story of the green children fall into two main categories. The first, rooted in English folklore, suggests that the children were merely fictional representations of an encounter with inhabitants of a “fairy world” or otherworldly beings, possibly embodying spirits or magical creatures. However, this explanation does not take into account the multiple historical accounts supporting the tale.
Many theorists believe that our reality is just one of infinite frequencies coexisting within a multiverse. Terms like parallel dimensions and alternate universes have entered public discourse. Some assert that beings from other dimensions occasionally visit our reality, while others are convinced that every decision made by a human being creates new universes where all possible outcomes take shape, much like a tree diagram illustrating different choices and their consequences.
The Theory of the Multiverse
Hugh Everett III rigorously proposed the concept of the Multiverse in 1957, based on the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, although the term was first coined by American writer and psychologist William James.
In modern physics, the Multiverse is a hypothesis that suggests the existence of coexisting and alternative universes beyond our spacetime (parallel dimensions). This concept may arise from several scientific theories, including string theory and bubble theory (also referred to as “eternal inflation”).
