    What do Picts look like?

    I don't intend to change any's mind with my comments on the REH's Picts. I was just saying, based upon Howard's fiction, why I imagine them as a Caucasian-featured people - at least in Thurian Age and Hyborian's one.

    What do Atlanteans look like?

    In The Hour of the Dragon, Conan (whose people is descendant of Thurian Age's Atlanteans) is mentioned as "brown" when he saves Albiona's life and also when he frees the Venturer's black slaves (and in another part I can't remember in this moment). I believe the Atlanteans from Moon of the...

    What do Picts look like?

    Thank you, kintire! I believe REH would never say at least three times in his texts the Picts were a "white race", if their features were not Caucasian. Of course they had several Noth-Amerindians practices and clothes, but who readed Men of the Shadows knows they were not ancestors of America's...

    What do Picts look like?

    If I hadn't readed the REH's writings, maybe I could think like you. But, after seeing Howard's description of the Picts, I imagine them - at least the ones of Thurian Age, Conan's one and Turlogh's one too - like a swarty and short people with Caucasian features. I imagine, as pure-breed Picts...

    10,000 BC (The Movie)

    Maybe 10,000 BC be a post-Hyborian Age Movie, as Red Sonja in the wonderful Kintire's post at http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/phpBB2/v...sc&start=30 I bet D'leh's people was Shemite/Amazons' descendants and Caananites's ancestors. Evolet (Camilla Belle) could be the last survival of a...

    What do Picts look like?

    Really? So, lets take a look in some REH's writings: Beyond the Black River Wolves Beyond the Border - Draft A Wolves Beyond the Border - Draft B In Men of the Shadows, Bran Mak Morn, though he is dark-skinned, black-haired and black-eyed like whatever Pict, is straight-featured - like...

    Hyborian Age Map

    Wondeful maps! :D I've seen them in www.conan.com/invboard and, as Blackfrost said, they're doubtless "more accurate and useful than the published versions". :) However, I've took a look in the Untitled Sinopsis a.k.a. Drums of Tombalku, and it seems Tombalku was built close to an oasis, and...

    Help me kill Conan!

    Thank you for your praise on my english :D , but I did what Thulsa had suggested you, and that site's translation is better than others "on-line" ones I've seen. Of course it has some mistakes, like "Senhor da Noite" appears as "Mr. Night" - the correct would be "Lord of Night" or "Lord of the...

    Help me kill Conan!

    Thank you, Thulsa! :D I always need a dictionary to post messages here - even when they has few words. :oops: It would be a very hard work to translate a tale with that size. I believe that maybe Axerules knows, Spectator. He always calls me of "brasileiro" ("Brazilian") and he uses other...

    Help me kill Conan!

    Two years ago, I wrote a tale showing the last 23 years of Conan's life, in Mayapan. If you understand Brazilian Portuguese, what do you think of reading "A Última Trilogia" ("The Last Trilogy")? The tale's adress is http://cronicasdacimeria.blogspot.com/2006/05/ltima-trilogia.html

    Epemitreus and the Cult of Mitras

    It wouldn't be easy to believe that, around 1500 years after Acheron's fall, the cult of Set was menacing again the Hyborian Kingdoms, and then Epemitreus helped to drive it back to Stygia? The timeline you are posting in "REH - Complete Inspirated Timeline" - based upon all Howard's writings -...

    complete REH-inspired timeline

    I agree with you. And I can't wait for the parts that will followed the one you mentioned, like the fall of Hyboria, the Ice Age, the Imperial Atlantis, the last Cataclysm... :D

    complete REH-inspired timeline

    Well, either I as Dale Rippke are trying to do it - though my point of view on Howard's ficction and the his aren't always the same. 8) But, in some points, where REH didn't fit any date, I think the use of "our realworld timeline" as gap's complement is inevitable... As we know - in the...

    I answer you with the same words I and Axerules used for xssurdinynexes. 8)

    complete REH-inspired timeline

    Hi, Darkstorm, In another topic, you said that "A careful reading of "The Hyborian Age" shows that the era existed just as the last Ice Age was getting underway. That would make it circa 33,000 BC" However, my doubt is: did Robert E. Howard know that 35,000 years ago the glaciers had gone...
