The saying could also mean that it is like a time capsule from distant place explaining how humanity nearly went extinct. And the whole manga is meant to be that time capsule to be read now since 2000 years have officially passed.

I think the title would make sense if they spoke more about what they could about the world before the Titans showed up or showed places outside the Walls that looked a bit like they did in the live-action version (which I never saw).
