REH's Hyborian Age Essay 

"Know, O prince, that between the years when the oceans drank Atlantis and the gleaming cities, and the years of the rise of the sons of Aryas, there was an Age undreamed of, when shining kingdoms lay spread across the world like blue mantles beneath the stars ... Hither came Conan, the Cimmerian, black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand, a thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth under his sandaled feet." -- The Nemedian Chronicles
Robert E Howard (REH) wrote an Essay about his Hyborian Age setting.
It is a fictional history of the Hyborian Age. That "history" dealt not only with the period during and after Conan The Barbarian's life, but also with events some 8000 years earlier, during the Thurian civilization, which produced King Kull (exiled warrior of Atlantis) in the days before that continent sank into the surging seas.
