The movies are not very accurate in their portrayal of Conan and Hyboria.
Read the books.

Atlantis stems from Greek mythologyCinmerios ----> Highlanders with bronce/tan skin and dark hair, often with gray eyes, tall people. (Very old inhabitants of the West, survivors of the sunken Atlantis.)
True, and the most of books are not written by Robert E Howard. There are many good stories of the original author, enough to fill ten books, are also the best by far, is a shame that no one film is based on these stories.

this is the best drawing of Conan, in my opinion, based on the original description of Robert E Howard.In AOC they look Norwegian(minus the warpaint and hair):
hair straight and dense, black as the plumage of a crow.

As an anecdote, Howard talks of the Hyborians as people who come in waves from the east and occupied the lands of the West, bordering the lands of Cimmerians and Picts, later, at the end of the "Hyborian Age" the Picts attack in hordes and destroy the Hyborian cities.

Yeah originally it was in Weird Tales, but now you can get most of Howard's stories in book format, I have the centenary edition.
