Thread 24639480

Conan the Barbarian dates back to 1932 and likewise there are similar books from that era and even somewhat back into the 1800s that share many similar motifs such as Serpent Cults sacrificing humans and Atlanteans, Sumerians (Cimmerians in Conan's case) and other things that seem taken from ancient history, but my question is if they are just rehashing concepts they read in older books then what books/etc did the authors of Conan/etc use to get those ideas from in the first place? Because those are the books I want to read. I'm assuming they must be ancient manuscripts from the 1800s/1700s/1600s/etc which describe "true" historical events (such as about Serpent Cults, Greek Gods really existing, other non-human entities, etc, all of which I believe too btw). But the real question is, why do we not know where these authors acquired their ideas and why are those same books/etc they used not available today? At least I can't find them.

Golden Bough / White Goddess
Old Testament (Leviticus -> Nehemiah)

It's all just different flavours of Theosophy.

>Conan the Barbarian dates back to 1932 and likewise there are similar books from that era and even somewhat back into the 1800s that share many similar motifs such as Serpent Cults sacrificing humans and Atlanteans
The snake cult motif comes from Howard's Kull stories, not from the Conan stories. The conan movie you're using as an example has practically nothing to do with howard's writings.
>Sumerians (Cimmerians in Conan's case)
Cimmerians have nothing to do with Sumerians. Cimmerians are explicitely hunter gatherer proto gaelic irish/highland scots and have nothing to do with the historical bronze age cimmerians or the sumerians
And howard just got his ideas off the trends that were popular at the time. Theosophy and race science

These are some old books:
>The Problem of Lemuria by Lewis Spence 1932
>The History of Atlantis by Lewis Spence 1927
>Paradise found: the cradle of the human race at the north pole 1885
Modern ones you may find interesting:
>An initiate's guide to the path of the dragon
>The dragon legacy
>Flying serpents and dragons by RA Boulay
>The mystery of the navel idols
>The Empire's of Atlantis by Marco m.vigato
>The Nephilim Looked like Clowns by Paul Stobbs (his youtube channel is far superior because it has pictures and doesn't try to ram his beliefs down your throat like in the book)

hell yeah

kek, so ancient

>>24639480 (OP)
If you join a cult then make it a serpent cult.

copiously cited in case you want to go deeper

If so, why is Conan brown? He keeps being described as a bronze statue. And even if we assume it's a tan, that is way too deep of a tan for that race. Irish/highland scots turn into red lobsters under the sun.

>>24640232
Just like ancient europeans. Black hair, blue eyes and dark skin

>>24639525
The new ones sound like larp desu

>>24639488
What isn't?

>>24640232
He isn't brown at all. Howard explicitely states the Cimmerians are the ancestors of the gaels. You'd know that if you read howard's writing
>The Gaels, ancestors of the Irish and Highland Scotch, descended from pure-blooded Cimmerian clans
BTFO
>And even if we assume it's a tan, that is way too deep of a tan for that race. Irish/highland scots turn into red lobsters under the sun.
the only people who state this are retarded amerimutts who think all irish people are pale gingers despite the fact that most irish people have dark hair.
Look at up some pictures of pierce brosnan. irish with dark hair and light eyes yet tanned. Same with sean connery, highland scot and irish descendant who had brown eyes and tanned extremely dark

>>24640232
He’s just really tanned from being out in the sun, but he’s white. A black character in The Scarlet Citadel insults Conan by calling him “whitey”

>>24639480 (OP)

I'm literally writing a book right now that's dark historical fantasy with a brooding protagonist taking on a serpent cult.

Am I making a mistake?

You guys want to read some of it? It'd be cool if you gave it a shot.

"Aryan-Greek and Aryan-Chinese thoughts found, in immense distance from each other, the same mode of manifestation to represent two completely identical ideas, the mixture of an Aryan race with the savage aborigenes, who appropiated themselves with social notions as a result."
[...]
"Or, Prometheus was a Titan, just like his brother Epimetheus, from whom the Aryan-Hellenes descended likewise through their women. Consequently, no one, I believe, can refute this conclusion: the Aryan-Hellenes before Deucalion, the Aryan-Hellenes, still quite intact from any mixture with the aborigenes and the Semites, these are the Titans (1)."
[...]
"The ancient Greeks were the mestizo descendants of this glorious and terrible nation."
[...]
"The Titans, these conquerors of the mountainous North of Greece, these violent and irresistible men, left, in the memory of the Semitic peoples of Hellas, and among their own descendants, exactly the same idea about their nature, wich the ancient white Hamites, the first Hindus, the Aryan Egyptians, the Aryan Chinese, all conquerors, all related to each other, left in the heritage of the other peoples. They were deified, they were placed above the human creature, the vanquished saw themselves smaller than them, and in such a way of comprehending things, they rended exact justice to the primitive nations of the white race, pure from any mixture, and to the multitudes of mediocre value wich succeeded them."
