I do know that now, even if admittedly years ago when I saw the movie, I sure didn't.
What I was getting at was I think the aforementioned
on Twitter was probably the same way and I had my doubts he dug much further than that, except long after the fact if that and probably didn't derive any lasting additional understanding from it.
i mean racial psuedoscience is pretty easy & simple to get into, because it has nothing to do with reality.
trying to figure out what historical 'Cimmerians' spoke, where they lived---dozens of books, reading asssyrian records, archaeology linguistics---years of work.
finding out how 'Cimmerians' were a kind of magic white people in the Hitlerian cosmology---idk that probably takes an afternoon with a weird paperback that got republished by american nazi party in the 90s
It doesn't help that as far as I know the Cimmerians didn't leave written accounts about themselves. I think I read that even the name is derived from what others called them.
In case it seemed like otherwise, I actually enjoyed the Conan movies for what they were (Conan the Destroyer was like the earliest example I can think of a D&D tabletop group chemistry in movie form).
