The Man from the ‘Kingdom of Taured’. Infopolis, Taured. – SSR

Sherry (me): According to my research, Taured was allegedly south of the Sahara. A text in “Taured language” was written with Latin characters cited by a newspaper. A case was once mentioned in the books by Jacques Bergier. According to his version of the story, a person from Taured, a country in Eastern Africa which “stretched from Mauritania to Sudan and included a large part of Algeria“.
Finally, a story featured on various Japanese websites dedicated to urban legends and occult stories tells that a “man from another dimension” arrived at Haneda airport in 1954. He possessed a passport from the fictional country “Taured.” When asked to point out his home nation on a map, he pointed to Andorra. He was placed in a hotel with two guards for investigation, but was nowhere to be found the following morning.
“The Mystery of the Man from Taured”. Snopes. 7 March 2021. It’s July 1954; a hot day. A man arrives at Tokyo airport in Japan. He’s of Caucasian appearance and conventional-looking. But the officials are suspicious. On checking his passport, they see that he hails from a country called Taured. The passport looked genuine, except for the fact that there is no such country as Taured – well, at least in our dimension.The man is interrogated, and asked to point out where his country supposedly exists on a map. He immediately points his finger towards the Principality of Andorra, but becomes angry and confused. He’s never heard of Andorra, and can’t understand why his homeland of Taured isn’t there. According to him it should have been, for it had existed for more than 1,000 years!
He disappeared, was never seen again, and the mystery was never solved.
A debate in the British House of Commons on July 29, 1960, on the subject of frontier formalities (i.e., the administrative process by which a person enters the territory of another country) included mention of a man named John Alan Zegrus, who was then being prosecuted in Japan for using a false passport:

My hon. Friend may know the case of John Alan Zegrus, who is at present being prosecuted in Tokyo. In evidence, he describes himself as an intelligence agent for Colonel Nasser and a naturalized Ethiopian. This man, according to the evidence, has travelled all over the world with a very impressive looking passport indeed. It is written in a language unknown and it has remained un-identified although it has been studied for a long time by philologists.The passport is stated to have been issued in Tamanrosset, the capital of the independent sovereign State of Tuarid. Neither the country nor the language can be identified, although a great deal of time has been spent in the attempt. When the accused was cross-examined he said that it was a state of 2 million population somewhere south of the Sahara. This man has been round the world on this passport without hindrance, a passport which as far as we know is written in the invented language of an invented country. I would stress, therefore, that passports are not very good security checks.
As unusual as this account may seem in our modern security-conscious era — that a man had been successful in moving about the world using a fabricated passport issued by a made-up country and bearing writing in a nonsensical language — it was borne out by contemporaneous reporting, such as the following August 1960 newspaper article:
Everyone who has run into officialdom to his cost and wondered at the ridiculous questions asked of tourists will have sympathy for a man sonorously named John Allen Kuchar Zegrus.Mr. Zegrus wanted to travel round the world. To impress officials, he invented a nation, a capital, a people and a language. All these he recorded on a passport which he made himself. Victims of bureaucracy all over the universe will be delighted to hear that he was wonderfully received everywhere — well, almost everywhere.John claimed to be a “naturalized Ethiopian and an intelligence agent for Colonel Nasser.” The passport was stamped as issued at Tamanrasset, the capital of Tuared “south of the Sahara.” Any places so romantically named ought to exist, but they don’t. John Allen Kuchar Zegrus invented them.Armed with this wonderful document, Mr. Zegrus travelled royally through the Middle East, accepting homage as he went. And if there were any doubters, they were invited to read a kind of proclamation beneath the national Tuared stamp. It read: “Rch ubwaii ochtra negussi habessi trwap turapa.” That was the clincher, but didn’t mean anything in any language.
Tuareg is the name of a group of people and languages in and around the country of Algeria, it’s possible Zegrus hailed from (or claimed to hail from) that region of the world. Regardless of his precise origins, the “mystery man from Taured” was definitely neither an extraterrestrial nor an interdimensional, time-traveling being.
