Hey Vincent Darlege, if your hanging around enlighten us as to why there is so much confusion about this city.
I have no idea why there is such confusion. Considering the line, "I sleep in the palace chamber of Akbatana" spoken by Natohk the Veiled One, who attacked out of Shem (
Black Colossus, by REH), I think it is a reasonable conclusion that Akbatana is in Shem, not in Corinthia.
He's got many, many errors on that map, actually.
1) The river between Nemedia and Brythunia is the Yellow River.
2) The Westermarck does not lie between the Thunder and Black Rivers. It lies between the Thunder and an unnamed Bossonian river.
3) The Shemite shoreline is too short.
4) He spelled Fort Ghori as Fort Gmori.
5) He doesn't include Amazon or Atlaia in the Black Kingdoms
6) Paikang is too far north. It is supposed to be jungled, but he has it on the level of tundra if you look across to Nordheim.
7) Meru is too large.
8) Larsha is not that far away from Shadizar.
I could go on, but it is late.
Hold your horses for
The Road of Kings. It will be here soon with maps that lay waste to every other map I have ever seen of Conan's world!
