Description
Had an idea to do a cultural map of sorts of the Conanworldmap. I think it was perhaps a mistake, since these nations probably are quite different culturally while sharing a similar background history. It is a bit of a mess therefore. I will explain in the comments further. I might produce some other maps with similar themes later.

I based the map on an iceage-african map, using an overlay with an old Marvel comic version of the COnanworldmap of Hyboria and some other areas. As you can see, if you are familiar with these maps, it does not fit entirely. Especially the northwestern part, Pictland, Zingara looks quite off...But I guess, you could argue that medieval or ancient maps were never that accurate neither.

Personal takes. There are a lot, mostly I made a connection with the horn of Africa to the Arabian peninsular, which never existed in the ice ages. (probably). There were periods of humid Sahara though probably not this cold so far south. I also tweaked the rivers. There were actual paleo-rivers in humid Sahara but not very likely they take these directions.

Lemurian sea is an idea of my own and that there is a way to sail into the icy medittarenan sea from Vilyaet or the Western Sea. I call that link the sea of Atlas. Don´t know why. It is as I said a personal take, I used this map for a roleplayinggame just for fun. Also I changed the name "Iranistan", to Aryas. Just rings better in my ears.
