Untitled[edit]

This page would probably be better as a section in Eragon and Stargate rather than its own page. Quickbeam 04:24, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Eh? why would that be? Kull is a well known and independant character with his own cycle and does deserve his own article... Also, I don't know why it should be a subset of the stuff you mention, which at best borrowed from Howard.

On another tack, I'd like to know why whoever wrote the passage mentiond Thulsa Doom as a recurring character... to the best of my knowledge, he only appears in Delcardes' Cat but I thought it better to ask before correcting the text. Svartalf--Svartalf 23:38, 5 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Kull was created by Robert E. Howard in the 1920s. "Stargate" and "Eragon" are both recent inventions. Spartan198 (talk) 04:37, 30 May 2008 (UTC) Spartan198[reply]

Where does Kull appear?[edit]

Can someone add in a list of stories in which Kull appears? It's relevant to the article, and also, I'd like to read them... SpectrumDT 20:33, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

He-Man connection[edit]

In the subsection referring to the connection between Kull and He-Man, I believe He-Ro and King Grayskull are two different characters filling the same role. One originating as a proposed character at the end of the original toyline and one created for the 200x cartoon. Not certain though so I won't edit it.

The merger question[edit]

IMHO, it would be just plain weird to merge the article on the DC King Kull character with the article on the Howard character. They represent two independent creations, with nothing in common but the name. The articles belong apart. Why is this even under discussion? It should be a no-brainer.

Fair use rationale for Image:Kull 1969.jpg[edit]

Image:Kull 1969.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Ramelia[edit]

Is this the correct spelling of that Pre-Cataclysmic nation, or is it Kamelia? I haven't read any of the Kull series but Howard's "Hyborian Age" essay has it as Kamelia. Cerdic 00:55, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I went ahead and changed it to Kamelia unless someone can show it was right the first time. Cerdic 13:56, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Kamelia is correct. I thought I'd seen something somewhere about one called Ramedia, but I can't find anything about it now. Spartan198 (talk) 04:32, 30 May 2008 (UTC) Spartan198[reply]

Chronology, what?[edit]

Where does this "20,000 BC Kull" stuff come from? Kings of the Night puts it at "a hundred thousand years" before Bran Mak Morn's time - c. 100,000 BC. Yes, there are chronology issues, but there's no reason to throw out Howard's own date of c. 100,000 BC for Kull. As for the existence of Homo sapiens at that time; yes, H. sapiens existed then, but that's kind of irrelevant in this sort of story; Clark Ashton Smith and Lovecraft put modern humans in the Miocene and "as soon as its [the Earth's] crust was fit to live upon" (!), respectively. Vultur (talk) 12:22, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Furthermore, one of the chronology links doesn't work. Verifiable sources will be an issue here; the most Howard-accurate discussions of chronology will be found on the conan.com forums, but we can't exactly cite a forum post... Vultur (talk) 12:26, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mu[edit]

What is the source for the statement that the islands of Lemuria are the mountaintops of sunken Mu? According to "The Shadow Kingdom" they are two separate nations.

"Behind those proud and terrible ranks came the motley files of the mercenaries, fierce, wild-looking warriors, men of Mu and of Kaa-u and of the hills of the east and the isles of the west. They bore spears and heavy swords, and a compact group that marched somewhat apart were the bowmen of Lemuria. Then came the light foot of the nation, and more trumpeters brought up the rear."

Mu = the mysterious continent in the eastern ocean.?[edit]

This mysterious continent to the east of Lemuria from where the ancestors of the stygians, or rather: their masterrace-minded white-skinned elite, stem sounds like what is said about "Mu" by its "creator" John Churchward. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.130.31.203 (talk) 11:43, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Farsun[edit]

"Fars" is the persian name of Persia proper. Farsun is arguably a precursor to Iranistan in Conans days. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.130.31.203 (talk) 08:18, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
