      Not really. Conan lived during an age undreamed of, between the fall of Atlantis and the rise of the sons of Arius. In other words, the Hyborian Age is completely made up by Robert E. Howard. And in his world, the Cimmerians morphed into the Celts.

    Fun facts: The actor who plays "Subotai" is Gerry Lopez, who is a retired champion pro surfer from Hawaii. And the real Subotai was the top general and chief military strategist of Ghengis Khan back in the 13th century, considered by many to be the greatest and winning-est general in the history of warfare.

    Such a great movie. The set design and costumes look great, the combat is brutal and bloody without being over the top and cheesy and the soundtrack is amazing. The music really makes this movie when the characters are running through the wilderness with the beautiful music playing it is so good. Sure Arnold isn't at his peak yet acting wise but who cares? You can tell he cared about what he was doing and knew how to look convincing handling a sword. I love all of the conversations the characters have about their gods and what it means to be a mighty warrior. Such an underrated movie. Every frame looks like the best heavy metal album cover you've ever seen.

      They seriously knew how to make movies back in the 80s. This, Aliens, Die Hard, Robocop, there's all sorts of badass movies that came out of the 80s.
      I love this movie for all the reasons you named but also because to me, it feels almost real. I don't know if that makes sense or not but there's a feeling of authenticity that I don't get from movies made today. I see a CGI Wakanda, and it's beautiful and it looks great but in the back of my head I know it's all just CGI.
      I watch a fight scene where characters flip, do acrobatics like gymnasts, or worse, the fight scene is so shaky I can't even tell what the hell's going on.
      Then you see a movie like this, and you see these amazing landscapes and this ancient looking city and and it looks and feels real. It's not CGI, you would actually think this city truly existed somewhere, at some point in time.
      And when these characters fight, it feels real. It's not acrobatic shenanigans; it's raw, brutal, and ugly.
      I wish modern Hollywood would step back, dust off some of these old classics, and learn from them. There's a reason why they're classics.

      That's what is great about polytheism. Gods had their domains. If you found yourself in another god's domain you would give homage since it's their turf, while still maintaining fealty your own god. The god were also flawed, had character, and emotion.
      Monotheism fucked it all up with one ALL powerful god. They're the "infinity plus one" kid of religions. ALL knowing, ALL powerful, which of course causes logical problems when you start to think about it. And no one else allowed. It's mine or nothing. Both boring and an instant source of conflict.
