Did the question have to do with a pair of mountains and a lush valley?

I think it had something to do with a couple of cities, but... I'm still drawing a blank here. :blink:

Anyone interested in purchasing a reproduction of my map which hangs in the kitchen of Howard's House please contact me as I have done a few for others and I will donate 10% of the purchase price to Project pride.

Ohhhhh... I get that now. I honestly can't explain why I didn't earlier. :blink:

FYI, I think my question had something to do with Hyrkania, but I still can't remember it for the life of me. :blink:

The 3rd map (The Conquering Sword of Conan) is very good, too! :D It shows where stands cities like Tarantia and Belverus, and shows explicitlly that Keshan lies eastward of the Styx.

Please tell me, what year Robert drew a map of Hyboria? (this (His) map (maps) you can find in the book "The Coming of Conan of Cimmeria" Del Rey, 2003).

Hey, Bingam Vici! :) All right with you?

The map above was made by REH in 1936. The 2 other ones are of 1932. Hope that helps. :)

You're welcome, Bingam Vici. :)

"I don't have this book, don't read it and have this map only in .jpg (friend sent it to me)".

Me too, BV. I also don't have this book - I only readed its online version - and I got this map with a friend of mine as well - and in .jpg too. :)

Sorry, but I didn't understand your emoticons. Did I say you anything constraining? :unsure: If I did it, let me know. Anyway, I'm sorry if I said.

In Eastern Shem, between Shem and Argos, why does it say "Lanas"? Never heard of that.

I have another copy of this map. Actually, REH wrote "Lands". If you watch this word, the word on Grecia and the one on Turkey, you'll see "Lands of Shem". ;) Hope that helps. :)

As soon as I finish my Hyborian map I'm going to post and it I guarantee you all that it's vastly different than anything you've seen before. What bothers me about most maps is that the cartographer sinks half of africa to accommodate Howard's paving over the med sea. Now I've driven myself insane trying to make REH's map synch with real world continental shift but it's impossible. I'm now forced to bend history to fit with Howard's work and it's rather fun.

Tell me please, is this map of Robert? One man tells me that REH is not painted it.
