The snake cultists don't come from the Conan stories, they come from Kull. Here is how it got started:

>Robert E. Howard's "The Shadow Kingdom" was published in the Aug 1929 of Weird Tales, a pulp magazine of the strange and fantastic. The story involved the resurgence of a population of shape-changing Serpent-Men from prehistoric times, that had survived hidden from humans and seeking to control them. This was a development of a couple themes in Howard's work (serpent worship, Atlantis and an antediluvian age, a hidden race, etc.) which were drawn from a combination of concepts from contemporary anthropology, Theosophy, and popular fiction trends. It's notable that before this, there were basically few if any references to Serpent People or reptilian humanoids in association with Atlantis. Clark Ashton Smith, a friend and fellow-pulpster of Robert E. Howard, paid homage to his story by including serpent people in his story "The Seven Geases" in the Oct 1934 issue of Weird Tales; their friend H. P. Lovecraft made reference to them in several of his stories as well

>In the 1930s, a mimeographed booklet was published titled The Emerald Tablet of Thoth the Atlantean, by Maurice Doreal (sometimes Morris Doreal, real name apparently Claude Diggins), the founder of an occult group known as the Brotherhood of the White Temple. The esoteric poem includes a lot of material drawn from ancient Egyptian religion, Hermetic occultism, and Theosophy, but there's one passage in particular:

>"In the form of man they amongst us,
but only to sight were they as are men.
Serpent-headed when the glamour was lifted, but appearing to man as men among men. Crept they into the Councils,
taking forms that were like unto men. Slaying by their arts the chiefs of the kingdoms, taking their form and ruling o’er man.Only by magic could they be discovered. Only by sound could their faces be seen. Sought they from the Kingdom of shadows to destroy man and rule in his place."

>>509186991
>Which is basically a synopsis of Robert E. Howard's Story. Michael Barkun in A Culture of Conspiracy: Apocalyptic Visions in Contemporary America notes that Doreal also authored a pamphlet giving a revisionist history of the world featuring this serpent race ("Mysteries of the Gobi") and another "Flying Saucers: An Occult Viewpoint" (all of these have uncertain publication dates) which postulated this Serpent Race were extraterrestrials

>The early UFO movement of the 1940s and 50s was closely associated with the pulp fiction magazines because of the Shaver Mystery and general similarity of interest, so a pulp influence on an occult writer is not a massive surprise. Reptilian aliens became a feature of science fiction, and were absorbed by degrees into occult and conspiracy literature with works like Robert Ernst Dickhoff's Agharta (1951, serpent men from Venus come to Atlantis and Lemuria) and you can see the sort of divergence that gave us reptilian aliens like the Gorn for Star Trek versus the tabloid fodder that the British Royal family are serpent-people, which makes its appearance in the 1980s

>Doreal would be a source for later works like David Icke's Children of the Matrix: How an Interdimensional Race has Controlled the World for Thousands of Years-and Still Does (2001), which sort of collates and updates the whole idea. (The Complete Chronicles of Conan, edited by Stephen Jones)

Kull stories were set thousands years before Conan in the same universe

>>509187324
The Kull stories are set in the end of the Atlantean Age, after the apocalypse that destroyed Atlantis, when humans have few civilizations and are mostly ruled by warlords and warlocks, with Kull being on of the first great post-Atlantean kings. The Snake Men, who brought down Atlantis, are a major threat to humanity at this point, but are essentially extinct by the end of the Age.

After Atlantis was destroyed, it's inhabitants who escaped fell so hard into a dark age they degenerated all the way back to apes. They eventually re-evolve into men and are the ancestors of Conan. The Hyborian cultures grew from humans who "only" went all the way back to cave men and had got back into the neolithic when the proto-Cimmerians stopped monkeying about. Conan's own time had mighty empires and late medieval technology in it's civilised core but Hyboria is meant to be Earth before the Ice Age so the cycle will continue and the Ice reset things once more.

The serpent men are an entirely background element of Conan that is extremely obscure without reading The Shadow Kingdom, The God in the Bowl, or knowing how often he shared ideas with C. A. Smith and H. P. Lovecraft. The hints are always there - Stygia being founded by something distinctly not human, Set is an ancient remnant of pre-human worship adopted by former slaves - but never explicitly identified.

Howard's other works are a different story. Literally anything ancient and evil is a product of ancient reptilian humanoids, and anyone that sheds their humanity degenerates into serpent-like subhumans. Valley of the Lost, Children of the Night, People of the Dark are all about some depraved tribe forced underground that degenerated into literal serpent men, Valley of the Lost being an exception in that they were already monsters. Of course that's not getting into Howard's habit of describing anything negative with serpentine adjectives; he really did not like snakes.

Thulsa Doom was a dispossessed Atlantian lich seeking those descendants of Atlantis who have weapon making techniques passed down from their ancestors who settled in the savage word after the great fall. Having found no one that still had the knowledge he wanted, years later Thulsa comes to the rationalization that it is men who are strong, not merely the steel they use and through this, intends to use his followers to create a greater society than the one he came from. This is also why he was big on seducing princesses and talking them into his cult. Because cities like Stygia are just as ancient as Atlantis and as a worshipper of Set, he wants the divine blood of the snake for his own as well.

The Conan books are steeped in Atlantian lore and Thulsa Doom was originally a Kull the Conqueror character. The Kull series is about the rise and fall of Atlantis. It is by no accident that In the film, the blade Conan finds in the tomb is an Atlantian sword. The theme of the tomb is even called "The Atlantian Sword". It is the very type of steel Thulsa sought when he was younger and it's pottery that Thulsa is then killed by the very thing he once killed so many for in his youth. Not only that but Conan's people are also descendants of Atlantis, which is why Thulsa attacks them in the first place for the reason state above.

>>509185246 (OP)
the people would be able to defend themselves and destroy the cult if they were allowed to own weapons

Thulsa Doom was right. The strength of flesh is superior. With the strength of flesh Thulsa could have commanded steel. He only lost because he tried to jesus Conan instead of just decapitating him on the spot.

What I find curious about Conan is that his description as a proto-Celtic barbarian descendant of the Atlanteans matches exactly with the Fomorians from Irish Mythology.

The Fomori were a race of giant man eating monsters who washed up on the shores of Ireland after the great flood. They're aquatic in origin, but not necessarily "merfolk" seeing how they could walk around and cultivate the land. They also had a hierarchical system, with kings and chieftains, etc, so it's not quite the same story as the Titans vs the Olympians when it comes to them fighting the Celts/Children of Danu.

Their leader during the final battle was Balor, a TOWERING monster whose eye was poisoned by the fumes of some magical, alchemical experiment, giving it the ability to simply kill anyone he fixed it on. He had to wear seven layers of material over it to keep it from burning everything he looked at. This sounds a lot like the Tower of Sauron sometimes. He was said to have only one arm and one leg too and that his cycloptic eye needed to be pulled open by his men.

When he heard a prophecy that said his grandchild would kill him, he locked his daughter Ethniu in the tower so she couldn't have children (Where Rapunzel is loosely based). A Celt named Cian managed to sneak in and et her pregnant anyway, and she gave birth to Lugh; a half Celt, half Fomori who sided with the Celts and eventually became the sun god. He led the charge against Balor and (in some versions) smashed his eye right out the back of his own skull using a sling modelled after the stars. The evil eye was unleashed on his own army, creating a crater which became the site of a lake you can visit today.

>>509191815
>Though several later authors have referred to Conan as "Germanic-looking," Howard imagined the Cimmerians as a proto-Celtic people with mostly dark hair and blue or grey eyes. Racially the Cimmerians to which Conan belongs are descendants of the Atlanteans, though they do not remember their ancestry. In his pseudo-historical essay "The Hyborian Age", Howard describes how the people of Atlantis (the land where his character Kull originated) had to move east after a great cataclysm changed the face of the world and sank their island, settling where northern Scotland and Norway would eventually be located. In the same work, Howard also described how the Cimmerians eventually moved south and east after the age of Conan

>Ancient Ireland had Conann the barbarian, for real, except instead of calling him a barbarian, the historical accounts called him a Fomorian, or a giant. The Fomorians of legend were one of the giant races of the Old World. Nobody knows when they arrived in Ireland, because it seemed as if they’d always been there

>Conann was king of the Fomorians. Like most of the people in his day, instead of referring to him with a first and last name, he was known by something in his life that set him apart — Conann of Tory Island, for the island he lived on. Another Fomorian was Balor of the Evil Eye, who married Cethlenn of the Crooked Teeth, so you can see how names were adapted when you reached adulthood

>Their lifestyle was barbaric. Fomorians did not build, or produce. They stole; they demanded tribute; they ruled with an iron fist; and they were pirates. Few stories come down from Celtic legends that depict the Fomorian giants in a positive light. They even sacrificed Humans in the Samhain fires, or cut off their noses for not paying taxes. Fomorian giants were bloody and brutal

>Conan the Barbarian of pulp fiction fame, also known as Conan the Cimmerian, had a lot in common with Conann of Tory Island

>>509192021
>Both were giants, and pirates, and it took big shoes to play their roles in the Conan movies. The 1982 movie featured Arnold Schwarzenegger as Conan the Barbarian. The 2011 remake featured Jason Momoa as Conan the Barbarian

>Conan lived in the fictional Hyborian Age, and the real-world Hyperboreans may have been Celts who lived in cold, northern regions. The Fomorians were also Celts who lived all along the coasts of Norway and Sweden, the Inner and Outer Hebrides islands, the Orkney islands, Shetland islands, Denmark, and northern portions of Germany and Poland. They completely overran Ireland

>Most of these regions went by different names in the Old World: Scandinavia, Lochlann, Pomorania, and Pomerelia. One theory was that the Fomorians, or Fomors, took their name from, or gave their name to, Pomorania, which is also spelled Pomerania

>The Fomorians spent much of their time at sea on their pirate ships. So this Conann of Tory Island belonged to a race of northland pirates, who worshipped the gods Moloch and Crom Cruach

>Conan the Barbarian’s world also had a god named Crom, and he lived in a world full of ancient Irish deities: Manannán mac Lir, Dagda, Diancecht, Nemain, Macha, Morrigan, and Badb. These names come straight out of Fomorian history. The gods of Ireland were a mystical, magical, powerful race who lived during the Bronze Age, from roughly 1500 BC to 400 AD., before Ireland even came into its current name

>They were the Tuatha Dé Danann, a race that some ancient astronaut theorists believe were none other than the Nordic aliens who visit Earth today, and they engaged in a great battle with the Fomorian giants. The clash of these two powerful races is brought to life in the book Fomorian Earth, which depicts the Tuatha Dé Danann, who are called Tirnogians in the book, as crashing to Earth in their starship

>>509191815
>>509192021
>>509192071
His god, Crom, is even a Fomorian god.

>The Chief of the Mound - "Crom Cruaich"

>A Circle of Ancient Standing Stone

>The meaning for the name Crom is "a circle," while cromleac means "an ancient standing stone." On Magh Slecht there were twelve such cromleacs, three groups of four, arranged in a circle, with the central thirteenth cromleac representing Crom himself. The meaning of Magh Slecht is also interesting. Magh is a plain. Slecht comes from the Old Irish sléchtaim, meaning to prostrate, to go on your knees. Hence it is referred to as the Plain of Adoration

>The idol is referred to in the Book of Leinster as crin, or withered: He was their god, the withered Crom with many mists. Crin refers to the withering and decay of vegetation at the beginning of winter, and also possibly to the powers of blight, which were greatly feared. It is recorded that tributes were paid to the Fomorians to avert blight on the crops. The idea of bent, or stooping, also conveys the image of old age, something ancient, something with great knowledge or wisdom perhaps? It is interesting that crin (Old Irish) is very close to crinda, meaning wise or prudent

>Ceann Cruaich

>Yet Crom also has another name - Ceann Cruaich, meaning the Head or Chief of the mound. Its equivalent in Welsh is Pen Crug (or Penn Cruc, the earlier version). The 'head' would seem to be a title denoting authority and leadership and is probably connected with the cult of mounds and hills as sacred places, associated with the ancestors and with the sidhe

>>509189637
you don't understand the riddle of steel. Steel is flexible yet hard and sharp. it endures the elements. It is made of common metals but can cut through gold. The riddle of steel isn't about steel it is a metaphor for man, and therefore a higher understanding of the strength of flesh. Thulsa Doom was a middle manager and conan was a founder.

>>509192256
>Such sidhe mounds were regarded as entrances to the Celtic otherworld lands, magical lands of perpetual youth, feasting and happiness. This is a far cry from the picture we are presented with in the ancient poems of Crom Cruaich

>Sacred Mounds or High Places

>In Wales, the gorsed was a gathering place on the top of sacred mounds or high places for the giving of judgements. The gorsed of Arberth, in South Wales, is mentioned in the ancient sagas of the Mabinogi. It is said that no-one ever ascended the hill without either receiving wounds, or seeing a miracle, another reference to the duality of positive and negative found in mythology. The gorsed was held in the open air, around a circle of stones, with a larger stone in the middle. The image of Crom and his stone idols comes to mind once again. This ancient tradition of gathering on hill summits was carried on well into Christian times, with Parliament hills or Law hills to be found all over Scotland. On the Isle of Man the Manx parliament still assembles every midsummer on Tynwald hill, to read out the laws of the land to the people. In Ireland, thousands of pilgrims climb to the summit of Croagh Padraig in Co. Mayo every year, out of respect for their saint. In the poem from the Book of Leinster, we are told that:

>Since the rule
>of Herimon, the noble man of grace
>There was worshipping of stones
>Until the coming of good Patrick of Macha

>Tighearnmas the Fifth Milesian King

>Folklore has much to say about this worshipping of stones and this is a huge subject in its own right. Mention is made in the Brehon Laws of Ailche Adhartha or the Stones of Adoration. What I am really interested in here is the mention of Herimon. His name is usually written as Eremon, and he was one of the first sons of Mil who came to Ireland, and took the kingship of the land thereafter

>>509192301
>The fifth Milesian king in succession from Eremon was Tighearnmas (whose name means 'lord' or 'noble') who, we are told, was responsible for introducing the worship of Crom Cruaich on Magh Slecht. He was also responsible, according to legend, for the first gold mining in Ireland - the very metal that the stone idol of Crom was encased in. Tighearnmas is said to have perished along with three quarters of his people while worshipping this idol at Samhain: To him noble Gaels would prostrate themselves... they beat their palms, they pounded their bodies wailing to the demon who enslaved them they shed falling showers of tears... ! This all sounds rather exaggerated for effect. We are not told how this 'demon' enslaved them, or why these worshippers should undergo such violent acts of self mutilation

>What we are told is that it was the 'noble' Gaels that worshipped here, in other words, those with free status, those who held the Nemed under Brehon law, those upper echelons of society who were admitted to the public ceremonies held by the druids. These were no mere peasant farmers, but noblemen and women, and kings along with them. Crom certainly had quite an aristocratic following!

>God of Agriculture and Fertility

>We are also told, in another part of the poem, the reasons for the prostration, and the offering of the first born as tribute:

>Milk and corn
>They would ask from him speedily
>in return for one third of their healthy issue
>great was the horror and the scare of him

>The Nemedians were forced to offer such a tribute to the Fomorians, and so too were the De Dananns. This would suggest that the Fomorian gods were gods of fertility and of agriculture, to whom appeasement had to be made so that they would continue to provide the sustenance of the harvest. Popular folk belief still retains the idea of leaving offerings out to the daoine maith, the good folk or sidhe, to prevent them stealing the goodness of the milk

>>509192335
>Another poem illustrates the more beneficent aspects of Crom Cruaich, as an earth fertility deity:

>Mise a chothaíonn an gas, an phréamh
>A bheathaíonn a bhfásann ar talamh
>Ormsa ní thagann aon mheath
>Is méan an dias throm, an ghéag aibidh

>(It is I who nourish the shoot, the root
>Who feed all that grows from the earth
>I suffer no decay
>I am the heavy ear of corn, the ripe branch)

>Another verse points to further links with the earth, somewhat similar to the Dagda or Dis Pater, an ancestral god that dwells deep within the earth:

>Nílim guagach, táim seasmhach
>Chomh leanúnach le deilbh na ré
>Is mé bithbhíogadh na talún
>Atá lonnaithe go doimhin sa chré.

>(I do not vacillate, I am steadfast
>As faithful as the shape of the moon
>I am the eternal trembling of the earth
>Deeply lodged in the clay).

>A Fomorian Deity

>All this points to Crom Cruaich being a Fomorian deity, connected with the earth and worshipped at the mounds of the ancestors. He was also a god of agriculture and fertility, to whom tributes were paid. I find it hard to imagine that this idol would have the following of the people if they had to sacrifice their first born children. It is more probable that this involved some sacrifice or ritual killing of livestock, for the purposes of a public feast in which everyone would partake

>If Crom Cruaich was, in fact, a Fomorian deity in origin, why was he worshipped by the Milesian nobles? My own theory on this is that he was such a popular deity, with such a hold over the pre-Milesian peoples of Ireland, that his worship could not possibly be stamped out. Instead, the Milesians simply absorbed him into their own pantheon, and at the same time usurped his site as their own, with their own druids taking power and control over the ceremonial proceedings

>>509192381
>In Irish mythology, Balor or Balar was a leader of the Fomorians, a group of malevolent supernatural beings, and considered the most formidable. He is often described as a giant with a large eye that wreaks destruction when opened. Balor takes part in the Battle of Mag Tuired, and is primarily known from the tale in which he is killed by his grandson Lugh of the Tuatha Dé Danann. He has been interpreted as a personification of the scorching sun, and has also been likened to figures from other mythologies, such as the Welsh Ysbaddaden and the Greek Cyclops

>The name Balor may come from Common Celtic *Boleros, meaning "the flashing one", cognate with Old Irish at-baill (to die) and Welsh ball (death, plague)

>Dáithí Ó hÓgáin interprets Balor as personifying the harmful aspects of the sun, such as the scorching sun that would bring crop failure and drought. He speculates that the imagery of Balor is a conflation of a Bronze Age Celtic sun god with the Greek Cyclops. Both Ó hÓgáin and Máire MacNeill believe that Lugh's slaying of Balor was originally a harvest myth associated with the festival of Lughnasa and the later tale of Saint Patrick overcoming Crom Dubh. Ó hÓgáin also believes that the hero Fionn's conflict with figures named Goll (meaning "one-eyed"), Áed (meaning "fire") and Aillen (the burner) stems from Lugh's conflict with Balor

>>509192287
Correct. In the penultimate scene wherein Conan sneaks back into Thulsa Doom’s Mountain of Power and holds the serpent-man at sword point Doom tries to ensnare and in essence bewitch Conan by stating that he is ‘the wellspring’ from which Conan was sprung. Doom led his followers to Conan’s village, massacred his father and kin, and killed his mother before his eyes, leaving Conan with a desire for revenge, the wellspring of Conan’s animus. Without Doom what does Conan have? It’s his way of escaping Conan, subduing and confounding him by usurping Conan’s resolve. The power of flesh - Doom tormented Conan as a boy, left him alive as evidence of the power of flesh, the domination of others, which has hold of Conan as it’s a modus operandi that requires another.
Conan however triumphs by realising that he is not an empty vessel to be filled by another. Doom is right that without him Conan does have nothing: his quest for revenge would end and he would be empty of purpose. So Conan decides to end his quest by killing Doom and freeing himself from Thulsa Doom’s power - he won’t allow Doom to confound him and behave as another wills.
When Conan decapitates Doom and presents the head to the watching cult he is declaring himself greater, not an empty vessel that will return to the earth, not one in the power of another (the power of flesh). Will is stronger than flesh because it relies it derives only from one’s own power, no external influence. As he says to the cult member who asks him what he sees in the water basin - when he tried to get close to Thulsa Doom while disguised as a cult member - ‘Infinity’. Conan is a universe onto himself. He decides what to do, and he can do anything so long as he wills it. Men, women, and beasts may betray, a sword may break - which his father’s sword does - but your self… that you can trust.

He had the power to literally transform into a giant snake-- the power was obviously real. If a cult leader can back his shit up with physics-breaking miracles, he is worth following more than a human government.

>According to Plato, the first king of Atlantis was also named Atlas, but that Atlas was a son of Poseidon and the mortal woman Cleito. The works of Eusebius and Diodorus also give an Atlantean account of Atlas. In these accounts, Atlas' father was Uranus and his mother was Gaia. His grandfather was Elium "King of Phoenicia" who lived in Byblos with his wife Beruth. Atlas was raised by his sister, Basilia

>A similar theogony, compared with the Hurrian myth as early as in 1955, was also described by Philo of Byblos: the first ruler of the gods was Elyon, later replaced by his son Epigeius (identified as the Hellenic Uranus), who in turn was deposed by his own son Elus (identified with Cronos); Elus was then defeated by "Zeus-Demarous" (Hadad). Philo states that Elyon was also known as Hypsistos, and that he was killed by wild animals during a hunt. Hypsistos (Ὕψιστος, "most high") is known as an epithet of various deities in Hellenistic sources

>In Canaanite Mythology, Thakaman-wa-Sanam was El’s brother, who supports him on his shoulders when he is drunk. He also holds up the mountains to prevent the sky from collapsing

>"After the death of Hyperion the sons of Uranus divided the kingdom among themselves, the most illustrious of them being Atlas and Kronos. And of these Atlas took the regions along the coasts of the ocean, and became an excellent astronomer: and he had seven daughters who were called the Atlantides, and these, by union with the comeliest gods, became the founders of the most numerous race, and gave birth to such as for their worth became gods and heroes; thus the eldest of them, Maia, by union with Zeus became mother of Hermes."

>>509193951
>According to Sanchuniathon, knowledge “started with Taautus who was first of all under the sun to discover the use of letters and the writing of records.” This god of Byblos was the Logos of the Egyptian Tehuti or Thoth and the Greek Hermes, and the Alexandrians credit him with their Corpus Hermeticum. This clerk of the underworld and the scribe of the gods bore a tablet, pen and palm-branch (the Phoenix-tree). He attended the judgement of the souls, invented writing and served as a wise teacher and a peacemaker

>Eusebius preserved fragments of these writings from being lost to history. In the original translation, Tauutus or Thoth is named as “Tauutus, son of Mizor (or Mizraim). This name will be familiar to keen readers of the Bible, Mizraim being the descendant of Ham (in Hebrew pronounced Kham or Cham), son of Noah, and credited with the founding of Egypt. The name for Egypt in Hebrew is Mizraim. Interestingly, the name of Egypt in their own tongue is “Khem” or “Khemet”, although the relationship between the two is a matter of disputes

>Elsewhere in the History of the Phoenicians, Taautus is described as a prehistoric sage of Egypt: “’Taautus, whom the Egyptians call Thoth, excelled in wisdom among the Phoenicians, and was the first to rescue the worship of the gods from the ignorance of the vulgar, and arrange it in the order of intelligent experience. Many generations after him a god Sourmoubelos and Thuro, whose name was changed to Chousarthis, brought to light the theology of Tauutus which had been hidden and overshadowed, by allegories.”

>Again see what the same author, in his translation from Sanchuniathon about the Phoenician alphabet, says concerning the reptiles and venomous beasts, which contribute no good service to mankind, but work death and destruction to any in whom they inject their incurable and fatal poison

>>509194619
>This also he describes, saying word for word as follows:

>'The nature then of the dragon and of serpents Tauthus himself regarded as divine, and so again after him did the Phoenicians and Egyptians: for this animal was declared by him to be of all reptiles most full of breath, and fiery. In consequence of which it also exerts an unsurpassable swiftness by means of its breath, without feet and hands or any other of the external members by which the other animals make their movements. It also exhibits forms of various shapes, and in its progress makes spiral leaps as swift as it chooses. It is also most long-lived, and its nature is to put off its old skin, and so not only to grow young again, but also to assume a larger growth; and after it has fulfilled its appointed measure of age, it is self-consumed, in like manner as Tauthus himself has set down in his sacred books: for which reason this animal has also been adopted in temples and in mystic rites.

>'We have spoken more fully about it in the memoirs entitled Ethothiae, in which we prove that it is immortal, and is self-consumed, as is stated before: for this animal does not die by a natural death, but only if struck by a violent blow. The Phoenicians call it "Good Daemon": in like manner the Egyptians also surname it Cneph; and they add to it the head of a hawk because of the hawk's activity

>'The first and most divine being is a serpent with the form of a hawk, extremely graceful, which whenever he opened his eyes filled all with light in his original birthplace, but if he shut his eyes, darkness came on.'

>Atlas was also a legendary king of Mauretania, the land of the Mauri in antiquity roughly corresponding with modern Morocco. In the 16th century, Gerardus Mercator put together the first collection of maps to be called an "Atlas" and devoted his book to the "King of Mauretania"

>Atlas became associated with Northwest Africa over time. He had been connected with the Hesperides, or "Nymphs", which guarded the golden apples, and Gorgons both of which were said to live beyond Ocean in the extreme west of the world since Hesiod's Theogony. Diodorus and Palaephatus mention that the Gorgons lived in the Gorgades, islands in the Aethiopian Sea. The main island was called Cerna, and modern-day arguments have been advanced that these islands may correspond to Cape Verde due to Phoenician exploration

>The Northwest Africa region emerged as the canonical home of the King via separate sources. In particular, according to Ovid, after Perseus turns Atlas into a mountain range, he flies over Aethiopia, the blood of Medusa's head giving rise to Libyan snakes. By the time of the Roman Empire, the habit of associating Atlas's home to a chain of mountains, the Atlas Mountains, which were near Mauretania and Numidia, was firmly entrenched

>Mairiak, Saindi Maidi (in Lower Navarre), Intxisu in the Bidasoa valley are creatures of Basque mythology. They were giants who built dolmens or harrespil. Like the dolmens, they are only found in mountains. They are often associated with lamia, though these are known in all the Basque Country

>Mairu could mean "moor" in Basque. This term is used with the sense of 'non-Christian' to refer to former civilizations or megalithic monuments

>The origin of the Mairu is thought to be as old as the "mouros encantados" in Portuguese (Spanish: moros encantados), who are thought to be the remnant of old pre-Roman deities

>Moura is a homonym word with two distinct roots and meanings; one from Celtic *MRVOS, the other from Latin maurus. The word "moura" (alternatively, "moira", "maura"; medieval: "mora"), feminine of "mouro", is thought to originate from the Celtic *MRVOS and the Indo-European *mr-tuos that originated in Latin the word mortuus and in Portuguese/Galician the word "morto" ('dead'). Some authors think that the mouras are the deceased

>In Highland Gaelic the mythic race or aboriginal people who inhabited Ireland and Scotland, the fomhair or famhair, were giants associated with underground places; like the mythic mouros of the Galician folklore, they were also master builders of megaliths

>Theese three notes in common between fomorians and mouros is highlighted in the folklore and in the place names of archaeological sites: ring forts, barrows and dolmens are considered in Galicia, and in general in the North and West of Iberia, as mouro's buildings or their dwelling places. Indeed, the Irish name of the Giant's Causeway, Clochán na bh-Fomhorach, proves the identity between Fomorians and giants as master builders of megaliths or cyclopean monuments (Carmichel, in Carmina Gadelica, thinks they were Titans or Cyclops, and it fits whith the one-eyed Fomorians)

>More surprising is the fact the words fomorian and mouro come from the same etymon. The numerous spellings of the first, and his meaning, suggest the eclipsis of an initial m-, from latin majorem, "great, ancestor": the suppression of the radical sound, by prefixing another sound of the same organ, like f-, doesn't occurre in writing, where both sounds are retained in Irish ortography. But in Welsh the sound eclipsed disappears in writing: maur, mor, vor, "great", from latin majorem. And in Galicia the word mouro, "giant, ancestor", from latin majorem, retains this odd meanings in folklore in spite of another identical word: mouro, "dark, moor", from latin maurum (1)

>The tripartite scheme of the Irish and Galician theogony, chthonic titans (fomorians / mouros), heavenly gods (Tuatha Dé Danann / christians) and human beings or heroes (descendants of Míl Espáine) appeared first time in the Theogony, a greek poem by Hesiod (7th century BC). This fact suggests that the celtic mytholohy and the greek one came from a common old european heritage

>In 2017, the first genome-wide data analysis of the ethnic Guanche confirmed a North African origin, genetically being most similar to ancient North African Berber peoples of the mainland African deserts

>Maca-Meyer et al. 2003 extracted 71 samples of mtDNA from Guanches buried at numerous Canary Islands (c. 1000 AD). The examined Guanches were found to have closest genetic affinities to modern Moroccan Berbers, Canary Islanders and Spaniards. They carried a significantly high amount of the maternal haplogroup U6b1. U6b1 is found at very low frequencies in North Africa today, and it was suggested that later developments have significantly altered the Berber gene pool. The authors of the study suggested that the Guanches were descended from migrants from mainland North Africa related to the Berbers, and that the Guanches contributed 42–73% to the maternal gene pool of modern Canary Islanders

>Fregel et al. 2009a extracted 30 samples of Y-DNA from Guanches of the Canary Islands. These belonged to the paternal haplogroups E1a*, (3.33%), E1b1b1a* (23.33%), E1b1b1b* (26.67%), I* (6.67%), J1* (16.67%), K*, P* (3.33%), and R1b1b2 (10.00%). E1a*, E1b1b1a* and E1b1b1b* are common lineages among Berbers, and their high frequency among the Guanches were considered evidence that they were migrants from North Africa. R1b1b2 and I* are very common in lineages in Europe, and their moderate frequency among the examined Guanche males was suggested to have been a result of prehistoric gene flow from Europe into the region across the Mediterranean. It was found that Guanche males contributed less to the gene pool of modern Canary Islanders than Guanche females (as would be expected from the extremely bloody conquest of the islands)

>>509196268
>Haplogroups typical among the Guanche have been found at high frequencies in Latin America, suggesting that descendants of the Guanche played an active role in the Spanish colonization of the Americas

>Fregel et al. 2009b extracted the mtDNA of 30 Guanches from La Palma, (Benahoaritas). 93% of their mtDNA haplogroups were found to be of West Eurasian origin, while 7% were of sub-Saharan African origin. About 15% of their West Eurasian maternal lineages are specific to Europe and the Near East rather than North Africa, suggesting that the Benahoaritas traced partial descent from either of these regions. The examined Benahoaritas were found to have high frequencies of the maternal haplogroups U6b1 and H1-16260. U6b1 has not been found in North Africa, while H1-16260 is "extremely rare." The results suggested that the North African population from whom the Benahoaritas and other Guanches descended has been largely replaced by subsequent migrations

>Pereira et al. 2010 studies the origins of the maternal haplogroup U6, which is characteristic of Guanches. It was suggested that the U6 was brought to North Africa by Cro-Magnon-like humans from the Near East during the Upper Paleolithic, who were probably responsible for the formation of the Iberomaurusian culture. It was also suggested that the maternal haplogroup H1, also frequent among Guanches, was brought to North Africa during the Holocene by migrants from Iberia, who may have participated in the formation of the Capsian culture. In a further study, Secher et al. 2014 suggested that U6 was brought to the Levant from Central Europe in the Upper Paleolithic by people of the Aurignacian culture, forming the Levantine Aurignacian (c. 33000 BC), whose descendants had then further spread U6 as part of a remigration into Africa. U6b1a was suggested to have been brought to the Canary Islands during the initial wave of settlement by Guanches, while U6c1 was suggested to have been brought in a second wave

>Fregel et al. 2015 examined the mtDNA of Guanches of La Gomera (Gomeros). 65% of the examined Gomeros were found to be carriers of the maternal haplogroup U6b1a. The Gomero appeared to be descended from the earliest wave of settlers to the Canary Islands. The maternal haplogroups T2c1 and U6c1 may have been introduced in a second wave of colonization affecting the other islands. It was noted that 44% of modern La Gomerans carry U6b1a. It was determined that La Gomerans have the highest amount of Guanche ancestry among modern Canary Islanders

>Ordóñez et al. 2017 examined the remains of a large number of Guanches of El Hierro (Bimbache) buried at Punta Azul, El Hierro (c. 1015–1200 AD). The 16 samples of Y-DNA extracted belonged to the paternal haplogroups E1a (1 sample), E1b1b1a1 (7 samples) and R1b1a2 (R1b-M269) (7 samples). All the extracted samples of mtDNA belonged to the maternal haplogroup H1-1626. The Bimbache were identified as descendants of the first wave of Guanche settlers on the Canary Islands, as they lacked the paternal and maternal lineages identified with the hypothetical second wave

>Rodríguez-Varela et al. 2017 examined the atDNA of 11 Guanches buried at Gran Canaria and Tenerife. The 3 samples of Y-DNA extracted all belonged to the paternal haplogroup E1b1b1b1a1 (E-M183), while the 11 samples of mtDNA extracted belonged to the maternal haplogroups H1cf, H2a, L3b1a (3 samples), T2c12, U6b1a (3 samples), J1c3 and U6b.It was determined that the examined Guanches were genetically similar between the 7th and 11th centuries AD, and that they displayed closest genetic affinity to modern North Africans, "but with a tendency (especially for individuals from Gran Canaria) to occupy a space outside modern Northwest African variation, closer to Europeans." The evidence supported the notion that the Guanches were descended from a Berber-like population who had migrated from mainland North Africa

>>509196314
>Among modern populations, Guanches were also found to be genetically similar to modern Sardinians. Some models found the Guanche to be more closely related to modern Sardinians than modern North Africans. They were determined to be carriers of Early European Farmer (EEF) ancestry, which probably spread into North Africa from Iberia during the Neolithic, or perhaps also later. One Guanche was also found to have ancestry related to European hunter-gatherers, providing further evidence of prehistoric gene flow from Europe. It was estimated that modern Canary Islanders derive 16–31% of their atDNA from the Guanches. Furthermore, according to the phenotype analysis, these Guanche samples were showing light and medium skin, dark hair and brown eyes

>Fregel et al. 2018 examined remains at the Late Neolithic site of Kelif el Boroud, Morocco (c. 3780–3650 BC). The Kelif el Boroud people were modeled as being equally descended from people buried at the Neolithic sites of Ifri N'Ammar, Morocco (c. 5325–4786 BC) and the Cave of El Toro, Spain (c. 5280–4750 BC). The Kelif el Boroud were thus determined to have carried 50% EEF ancestry, which may have spread with the Cardial Ware culture from Iberia to North Africa during the Neolithic. After the Kelif el Boroud people, additional European ancestry may have been brought to the region from Iberia by people of the Bell Beaker culture. Guanches were found to the genetically very similar to the Kelif el Boroud people. In a 2020 review Fregel et al. identified European Bronze Age ancestry in the Guanches, which could be explained by "the presence of Bell-Beaker pottery in the North African archaeological record," as well as observing a certain admixture "possibly related to trans-Saharan migrations"

>Fregel et al. 2019 examined the mtDNA of 48 Guanches buried on all the islands of the Canaries. They were found to be carrying maternal lineages characteristic of North Africa, Europe and the Near East, with Eurasian lineages centered around the Mediterranean being the most common. It was suggested that some of these Eurasian haplogroups had arrived in the region through Chalcolithic and Bronze Age migrations from Europe. Genetic diversity was found to be the highest at Gran Canaria, Tenerife, and La Palma, while Lanzarote, Fuerteventura and particularly La Gomera and El Hierro had low diversity. Significant genetic differences were detected between Guanches of western and eastern islands, which supported the notion that Guanches were descended from two distinct migration waves. It was considered significant that 40% of all examined Guanches so far belonged to the maternal haplogroup H

>Serrano et al. 2023 analysed genome-wide data from 49 Guanche individuals, whose ancestry was modelled as comprising 73.3% Morocco Late Neolithic, 6.9% Morocco Early Neolithic, 13.4% Germany Bell Beaker and 6.4% Mota, on average, with Germany Bell Beaker ancestry reaching 16.2% and 17.9% in samples from Gran Canaria and Lanzarote respectively. The mtDNA results indicated some heterogeneity, as many islands had a greater affinity with populations from Europe, while others were more akin to ancient individuals from prehistoric North Africa. Overall, they formed a cluster with Late Neolithic Moroccans and contemporary North Africans, these observations said to be consistent with other studies

Yes. And they exist in Greek Mythology:

>The etymology of the name Fomorians is debated. The first part is generally agreed to be the Old Irish fo, meaning under, below, lower, beneath, nether, etc. The meaning of the second part is unclear. One suggestion is that it comes from Old Irish mur (sea), and that the name means something like "the undersea ones". This was the interpretation offered by some medieval Irish writers. Another suggestion is that it comes from mór (great/big) and means something like "the great under(world) ones", "the under(world) giants" or "the nether giants"

>THE TELKHINES (Telchines) were four mysterious sea-god magicians and smiths native to the islands of Keos (Ceos) and Rhodes. They invented the art of metal-working and were said to have crafted the sickle used by Kronos (Cronus) used to castrate his father Ouranos (Uranus) as well as the magical trident for Poseidon which the god used to lever mountains into the sea to create the island of the Aegean. Their malignant use of magic later angered Zeus, who cast them beneath the sea or into the pit of Tartaros. These strange sea-daimones were sometimes described as having the heads of dogs and fish-fins for hand

>The Telkhines play a variety of roles in myth and appear similar in some respects to the Hekatonkheires (storm giants) and Elder Kyklopes (Cyclopes) (thunder and lightning giants), as well as the metalworking Kouretes (Curetes), Daktyloi (Dactyls), and the Rhodian sons of Poseidon known as the Daimones Proseoous. The names of the two of the three Telkhines--Damnameneus and Skelmis-- were applied to Daktyloi (Dactyls) by Hesiod

>The Ancient Great Ones were a divine race of Alchemists and Sorcerers, who came to dwell in caves; They were in several tribes: Kabeiroi, the Great Gods of Samothrace, Korubantes, Kouretes, Idaian Daktuloi, Telkhines. Strabo [10.3.19-21] said They were Demon Ministers to the Gods and were Gods Themselves; They were the Ancient Gods, Beings of Incalculable Age who lived before the Gods we know, but now are Dead. Even so, Their Power has not been extinguished

>Some of the Ancient Ones were Giants, others were Dwarfs. The Dwarfs were called Orculi because They dwell in Orcus, the infernal Land of Death. (Some say the Orcades [Orkneys] take the name from the Mouth of Hell hidden in their cliffs.) To this day, their descendants, who dwell unseen in the caves that riddle the body of the Earth like wormholes, are called Orculli (the Dwarfs) and Orchi (the Giants) in northern Italy

>According to Plutarch [Cess. Or.] it was the Ancient Gods who spoke through the Oracles, and with Their death the Oracles have become quiet. Goethe was familiar with the Ancient Ones and named them in Faust Part II. Schelling was obsessed by Them and devoted a monograph to them

>i. We speak first of Those whom the Samothracians call Great Gods, and whom the Books of the Augurs call the Mighty Gods, for they did not dare to mention Their terrible names. Indeed, their awful-sounding names were kept secret for untold ages, until they were revealed by Mnaseas: Axieros, Axiokersa, Axiokersos and Kasmilos (or Kadmilos). Isopsephia gives the numbers of Their names: 986, 1007, 1276, 571 (or 375). Some say the first three are a Holy Triad, Father, Mother and Daughter; others say They are two Gods [Axieros, Axiokersos] attendant on a Goddess [Axiokersa]. The fourth is the Messenger, who completes the Quaternity; He carries the unmentionable Basket, into which only Initiates may peer and retain their sanity. Servius says Kasmilos' name is Etruscan, others say it is Hittite

Nigidius Figulus, who knew the gorey secrets of Etruscan soothsaying and magic, swore that it was sacrilege to reveal Their unhallowed story, but some say the Great Ones came to earth in a flaming star, which shattered the rocks when it crashed into the island of Samothrace; there the Great Gods made Their home. They are Lords of the Terrifying Tempest. Their dance is the bedlam of spears rattled against oxhide shields

>iii. Those who are initiated into the Mysteries of the Great Gods are granted the Purple Sash and the Magnetic Iron Ring. In this way Initiates stay in contact with the Great Gods. Artemidorus said that these same Mysteries are held on an island near Britain

>Artemidorus said that these same Mysteries are held on an island near Britain

Yet another reason why I believe the Fomorians have something to do with this.

>iv. The Romans were under the protection of the Great Gods, for the Romans were descended from Aeneas, who came from Troy, and the Trojans were descended from Dardanos, who came from Samothrace. Dardanos brought sacred images of the Great Ones with him, and these same images were taken to Rome by Aeneas; this was the origin of the Roman Great Gods, the Penates, who protected the state for more than one thousand years

>v. The Samothracian priests who celebrated the frenzied rites of the Great Ones were called Sai, but Servius said that when their cult was brought to Rome, the maniacal dancers for the Great Gods were named Salii. These, twice twelve in number, donned ancient armor and the peaked Phrygian cap. On their left arms they held the mysterious figure-of-eight shields that had fallen from heaven; their right hand held the sacred staff, which they beat against their shields, performing inscrutable ritual gestures

>>509197140
>They sang the Carmen Saliare, the incomprehensible syncopations of which were unintelligible to even the earliest Romans; all but a few maddening fragments of these unholy verses have been consigned to the flames.

>vi. Some say the Kabeiroi are the same as the Samothracian Great Gods, but They are Chthonian Crab-Beings said to be descended from Hephaistos, who was raised in an undersea grotto, and from Kabeiro, who was a daughter of Proteus. Some say They are Demons who serve Rhea. The principal Kabeiroi are Kabeiros and Kabeiria, from whom came the three male Kabeiroi, who with Kabeiros are the Astral Semina (Star Seeds), and three female Kabeirides, who with Kabeiria are the Elemental Semina (Material Seeds); together They continually recreate the world. Philo Byblius, who called Them the Children of Sudek (or Saduk), says They were the first scribes of Thoth, and recorded the dark secrets He divulged to Them

>Chthonian Crab-Beings

Crabs/Crustaceans are deep sea creatures just like the Fomorians.

>vii. Their unutterable names are dark and potent; the youngest He-demon was named Esmounos (Isopsephia = 1035). These Crabs [Karkinoi] walk cockeyed like their father, and like Him live in the sea as well as on land; their claws are like tongs for working metal [karkinoi]

>viii. Though Cambyses destroyed the unspeakable sanctuaries of Their worship in Memphis and other places, Strabo said They were still worshipped in desolate areas, the Corubanteion in Hamaxitia and the Korubissa in Skepsia. Nonnus told of two Kabeiroi, Alkon and Eurumedon, transformers of metal, who stood upon the terrible fire-sprouting rock of Lemnos and brandished blazing bolts; streams of sparks issued from Their eyes, like the smokey, ruddy glow of Their father's furnace

>ix. The Idaian Daktuloi are Alchemists and Sorcerers (Goetes), especially skilled in Drugs and Musical Magic, who dwell on Crete and serve Adresteia of the Mountains (who is Rhea)

>>509197223
>They are in two tribes, the thirty-two of the Left, who are evil Sorcerers, and the twenty of the Right, who banish Spells. Names of the Daktuloi include Kelmis, Damnameneus and Akmon. They dwell with Rhea, the Mother of the Gods, some say in the region of Troy; from Her They learned to transform metals [i.e., alchemy], and She entrusted Zeus, Father of Gods and Men, to Their care

>x. They are associated with the Kouretes, who danced to protect Zeus and hold the bottomless Cretan cave where Zeus was born. They came from Their cave in Mt. Ida in Phrygia to the Cave on Mt. Ida in Crete, for the two are connected. Some of the Kouretes and Karikines (Kabeiroi) came with the Phoenicians to Brittany, whence They spread like a plague to Cornwall and Iberia. The rural folk still fear these dwarfs, and call Them the Korreds or The Old Ones. They have deep-set, red eyes and shaggy dark skin, and They brought the Dolmen Stones to these lands. They still dance in circles so ferociously that the grass ignites beneath Their feet. They live in various caverns and caves, but always below sea-level

Didn't I tell this? The Fomorians are those same beings from Greek Mythology.

>xi. Likewise the Koroubantes made a sound so hideous and danced so demonically that even the Titans were driven away from this cave. Tzetzes says They are Demon Attendants of Rhea, who established their foul grotto on the Samothracian mountain called Saon. There, in an infernal cave, dwells Zerunthos, a gargantuan, abominable serpent, splotched in color, with scales horny like the fingernails of a shriveled corpse. Therein dogs are slaughtered to fulfill obscene rites

>xii. The Telkhines are seal-people descended from Tartaros and Nemesis (Damnation and Vengeance) and were great Sorcerers, especially skilled in the Evil Eye, by which They could transform anything, and They were experts in Craft and Alchemy

>>509197331
>Rhea gave Them Poseidon to be raised, and They made His barbed trident as well as the viscous sickle by which Ouranos was so cruelly unmanned. They fought the Gods and were so repugnant to Zeus that He blasted Them with His thunderbolt, submerging and overturning Their island. They also inhabited Rhodes before there were people

>xiii. The Telkhines are related to the Bakkhulides and those most frightening Dead Ones, the Keres, those completely Evil Spirits, shaped like unearthly birds of prey, who pollute everything and bring blindness and other terrifying diseases; They inflict horrible death and disaster

>xiv. No Demon is more frightening than Him whom the Etruscans called Tukhulkha, a Beast with writhing snakes, vulture's beak, enormous tongue, long ears and lipless snarl. He pursues poor wretches even after they have died

>xv. Kharun was the Etruscan name for another hideous demon, who has a hooked nose, obscene pointed donkey ears, flaming eyes [in Greek, kharon means Bright- or Fierce-eyed], a goatee, vicious wolf-fangs, a monkey face, revolting greenish-grey skin, wings (sometimes) and terrifying serpents for hair. He uses his mallet to smash the skulls and splatter the brains of the dead and dying. There are several Kharuns (whom the Italians call Caronte), including Kharun Khunkhulis and Kharun Hut's. Kharun and Tukhulkha (whom we see on the walls of the Tomba dell'Orco in Tarquinia), both have winged feet, which shows they are Angels of Death

just like stan lee of marvel, and all the kikes at DC comics do

Lovecraft based the Cthulhu Mythos on his nightmares. The Dreamlands are actually part of the Mythos and closely resembles the Australian Aboriginal concept of Dreaming.

Thank you kraut friend. The real life Conan the Barbarian was inspired by the outlaw John Wesley Hardin, according to Robert E Howard

Yes like I said before, the real life Conan was John Wesley Hardin. In Conan’s first story, a Celtic Texan gunslinger named John sent back in time, as a Celtic warrior to kill non-Aryans

Lol yea right. He talked about how much he hates blacks and love Aryan warriors. That’s nothing a Kike would do. He wanted Aryans to be warriors again and spoke about this a lot
