I am an apologist for #REHoward. For all his writing's faults, he WAS one of the few #pulpwriters to acknowledge empires and nations of colour could exist.

In Howard's lifetime, this region was known as #SouthZambezia, then #Southern Rhodesia.

But Robert, who spent his youth devouring #historical and #geographic #knowledge, still used the old name #Zimbabawe (spelled Zembabawe) for one of his #HyborianAge #kingdoms.

PocketThe Ancient Remains of Great ZimbabweThe ancient city of Great Zimbabwe was an engineering wonder. But archaeologists credited it to Phoenicians, Babylonians, Arabians – anyone but the Africans who actually built it.

As a film score buff, it only just *now* clicked for me that Basil Poledouris' Conan the Barbarian is very much an homage to the previous few decades of genre Western (as in "cowboys and Indians") film scores.

Yes, there are many shades of Carmina Burana. That's what I had always likened it to.

But listen closely. There are decidedly enormous amounts of the score that would almost be at home in a 50s to 70s American Western film.
