Mountain of Power

The Mountain of Power is a mighty mountain found within the eastern lands of Hyboria and a location in the 1984 sword-and-sorcery adventure movie Conan the Barbarian which based on the stories of the fantasy and horror fiction pulp magazine Weird Tales. Built at the heart of the mountain up high is the "Temple of Set", home to the primary establishment of the evil king Thulsa Doom's snake-worshipping cult called the Chidlren of Doom who consecrated this "sacred" place of worship to praise and honor their.

Many ceremonies and speeches are conducted at this religious stone structure the speaker stands on the second floor balcony, the "monarch" sits atop the highest flight of stairs, guards occupy the upper stair steps and landing, and many lesser followers and pettier cult members stay on the lower stairs and landing.

Trivia

 * It was reported that the Temple of Set was the largest set featured in the film. Production designer Ron Cobb found and surveyed the mountain (which the name of remains unknown) before the set was made. The set was built as high as the crew could make it, though the director John Milius wished it to be higher. The temple was constructed to hold at least 1,500 extras by producer Aldo Puccini who had little more than mere sketches for plans to build off of.
