It’s also a weird neo nazi version of Atlantis. Probably best it wasn’t used.
I've only ever heard it used in pulpy adventure stories/comics like Howard's Conan world (some of which do admittedly have some if that implicit racism common to fiction from that time). Has it become more explicitly neo-Nazi?
It’s common enough that tik tok banned the hyperborea hashtag and you can find a couple 4chan threads about it at any time.
I think actually believing in it is pretty fringe even among neo nazis though. It usually involves magic and aliens. It sometimes ties into flat earth and similar nonsense.
