From the Conan Storyline; Although there are some misconceptions about Amra being Conan's pet lion, which are false, Amra and Conan are the same person. It is a nickname Conan gains during a point in his life where he captains a
pirate vessel comprised of all black, former slaves. They are known, collectively, as "The Black Corsairs." He ravages and raids the coasts of the major nations of Shem, Stygia, and Kush. In Conan's Hyborian each
country, corresponds to an equivalent country from ancient world
history. Shem is Mesopotamia or Assyria. Stygia is ancient Egypt. Kush- the kingdom of Kush and Nubia. Conan sells his
loot in the northern nation of Argos, at the port city of Messantia.
