How do you explain this then?
"Know, O Prince, that between the years when the oceans drank Atlantis and the gleaming cities, and 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 - Nemedia, Ophir, Brythunia,Hyperborea, Zamora with its dark-haired women and towers of spider-haunted mystery, Zingara with its chivalry, Koth that bordered the pastoral lands of Shem, Stygia with its shadow-guarded tombs, Hyrkania whose riders wore steel and silk and gold. But the proudest kingdom of the world was Aquilonia, reigning supreme in the dreaming west.
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 sandled feet."

I know we've all been waiting for what seems like forever, but I'm glad you guys aren't rushing this thing. I'm grateful you're taking the time to do it right.
I'm really looking forward to seeing the end result.

Surely feinting should be fainting when used in the context above? Or is it an Americanism I'm not aware of?

Howard places the Hyborian age between the sinking of Atlantis, approximately 9600BC according to Plato, and the rise of the (indo) Aryan peoples sometime during the Bronze age. This would place it well after the last ice age.
