In Howard's The Hyborian Age essay, which is quasi-canon having been adapted by Marvel, it says: In the north the Baltic Sea was formed, cutting Asgard into the peninsulas later known as Norway, Sweden and Denmark, and far to the south the Stygian continent was broken away from the rest of the world, on the line of cleavage formed by the river Nilus in its westward trend. Over Argos, western Koth and the western lands of Shem, washed the blue ocean men later called the Mediterranean. But where land sank elsewhere, a vast expanse west of Stygia rose out of the waves, forming the whole western half of the continent of Africa. Thus the "Stygian continent" was a transitional landmass between the breakup of the Hyboria world-continent and the subsequent formation of Africa.
