The Hyborian Age by Robert E. Howard. A History of the world that brought us Conan and Kull. Enjoy.
The Pictish wildlands that sank under the waves would be what we call today as Doggerland. Amazing how he weaved our world history, with the new(for his time) theories of plate tectonics and continental shifts into his fantasy and created something so compelling and eerily accurate to what science has uncovered in recent years. So sad he ended his life so young, a mere 30 years old, it makes one weep, knowing how hauntingly beautiful his literary creation was.
This is really awesome. Great reading. Howard's world is as rich as Tolkiens but much more exciting.
Did Howard create his own languages? No? Oh that’s right. I love Howard’s stories too but let’s not kid ourselves
It is more exciting i think as well, tho Tolkien lore is very poetic in a way.
@@proudsaiyanprince2651 Yeah but he created his own constructed world 30 years before Tolkien did. He is pretty much one of the first to write modern fantasy. Pretty impressive for a 20 year old living in Depression era rural Texas.
The Silmarillion is exciting. Tolkien high fantasy, Howard is low fantasy. Both fantastical sides of the same coin
The food is better with Tolkein.
good thing Howard put that disclaimer in the beginning because this is so detail and true to itself it really can be believed as real historical theory
Historically *Based*
Love your vids man
Knew i'd find you here. Mitra be with you
Feels like the hyborean age is a forgotten history the world will never know.
every good fantasy setting does it's best to feel real
@@TheCybrarian 🙂👍

Thank you so much for your hard work!! This reading is better than ANY audible reading.

This pulled me out of a very bad week. Thank you
Hope it gets better.
Awesome, highly anticipated! And I know it will be delivered with quality and passion!
This is amazing guys...thank you so much for the work you do...this narrator is incredible!
Laid off. Thank Crom! REH and The Cybrarian time. Again thank you for the hard work.
Enjoy our yarns and we hope everything turns out well. Cheers for the coffees, you Legend!
@@TheCybrarian Laid off every November for the last 22 years. Back to work in April. My pleasure for the coffees. Looking forward to more stories and to seeing where your channel goes in the future. Congratulation on the 5000 subs! Thanks for bringing me back to an age undreamed of.
@@ericswain70 Let us tell you of the days of high adventure :)
I can't imagine a better narration of Howard's stories. 10/10 will listen again.
HORRORBABBLE SENT ME.
This is Awesome. I subscribed.
we're fans of HB too
@@TheCybrarian skullface is my favorite then Conan all his work is amazing
Awesomesauce.
I love the production value of your videos. your narration is of very high quality. im a big audio book connoiseur of audio books, and i find your performances to be top quality. l also like the sound effects and the music
It sounds like Gandolf woke up from a stupor packed his pipe and started whittling some wood while telling this! Fucking epic!
Thumbs up Awesome production and an awesome narrator.
Thank you kindly!
You have the perfect voice for stories this one.
Oooh that type writing bang in the background,with that southern voice really brings this to life. Thank you so much,great video!! Makes me wonder how REH talked I hear he didn’t like to edit unless the story was rejected so his written voice is close to his speaking voice I hear
This was a good history. I purchased a lot of the del Rey Robert E Howard books, mostly the Kull, Kane and 3 Conan Books. And Sword Woman.
It's okay to be Hyborean
Very nice imagery.
Glad you like it
We actually did a showcase of a lot of the imagery and music we used with all creditations etc...

@@TheCybrarian great! Thanks!
Best version on the tube 👌
just gets better
Cool. Looking forward to it! I recently picked up over ten used novels online. I've got four down, next is "Conan of the Isles".
Crazy as it seems, this is possibly reflecting true history.
Excellent!
Great stuff! Loved it
This is so well done by Robert e Howard it so believable until it can almost be considered as true prehistory, and it wouldn't surprise me if they wind up discovering some text similar to this in the near future that validates it.
Great presentation
I've gone through all your conan post now I'm on the last 2 howard conan stories hour of the dragon and red nails that you didn'tdo unfortunately. I've listened to the ones of kull i can find. Next will be Solomon kane. I would like to say thank you. I hate audiobook but you've got me to listen to these
fantastic cromrade!
)9loved it!
I love this so hard
It would be really cool to hear you read Fritz Liebers stories of Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser
we've had that request before, alas they aren't public domain
I first read this about 50 years ago and have listened to a couple of other audio versions. Doing that voice must have been hard on the throat. I would have preferred hearing it in the Scottish accent. Great job.
🤓👍
Howard's world was his richest tokens in terms of the way the reader could taste and feel and smell everything that happened in the stories. Howard is not true it does not come close to being true that Howard's world was as fully thought out and realized this tokens World which was a complete unified world picture rather than a dramatic stage set for a few scenes which is basically what Howard did with some background to connect it
One thing I’m confused about, is who is the narrator. Like I understand it’s the cybarian, but the character who is it, the old guy?
since the story has no actual characters speaking in it, as it's a history, we thought it would be interesting to add some flavour, so the old guy is just a kind of historian recounting his knowledge of the hyborian age to a scribe whilst travelling on a ship
@@TheCybrarian I see so he has no name, i thought he would have at least a name but i guess not.
@@thepokemontrainer6094 we could give him one. Suggestions welcome 😊
(think of him like a retired English indianna jones)
So I'm guessing the Hyborian Age exists roughly after the Fall of Sauron in the Second Age but before the events of The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. Conan can fit as prequel to those stories.
Well if you say the sinking of Numenor happened at the time when the oceans drank Atlantis and Lemuria, there are overlaps, haha.
@@TheCybrarian Can even wrap in Howar'ds friend HP Lovecraft with the never-described forgotten horrors beneath the roots of the mountains in Tolkien's writings. Boom, done. Three-world connection.
Maybe it's my ADHD but it's really hard to follow along.. not hard to listen to tho, your voice is so buttery
Yeah, the Hyborian Age background is a little dry. We did try to help by showing images of the maps for a better grasp of the geography. But it covers epochs so it is quite gemeralised.
@@TheCybrarian
I also love how you depict its telling as tho it were a scribe visiting a man who knows things that mightve even passed down verbally for generations. Before the written word I've heard that's how history was told and it's amazing.
Yes, we tried to make it sound like an aged explorer or historian recounting his research to a scribe aboard a shop circumnavigating the globe.

Cool thing is, I think some of this is alternative theoretical history
