The Hyborian world of Conan is containing ancestors to most of the people/ethnic groups present today. The Cimmerians however are descendants from the people of Atlantis, and as far as i know Robert E Howard did not intend Conan to "belong" to any people living today, northern or otherwise. Graphically however, Cimmeria is located in the north, and its culture is more resemblant to ancient nordic then the more civilised asian countries. The heritage from Atlantis give the Cimmerians their black hair and bronze skin, in contrast to the neighbouring Aesir and Vanir (pale and red/blond) who represents scandinavians and pherhaps celts. That many of Conans adventures take place in a more asia-like environment has naught to do with his heritage. |
