Attilan was originally founded in 5,000 B. C. on an island in the North Atlantic by King Myran and was later relocated to the Himalayas [1] in the 1950s. In more recent times, Attilan was shifted to the Blue Area of the Moon[2] , and later onto Atlantis after Atlantis was raised by Morgan Le Fay[3] . It was once more transported back to the Himalayas under the direction of Black Bolt after deceiving humans into believing it destroyed[4] . Next, Attilan was brought into space by the Kree as a mobile weapon, but the Inhuman population initially elected to remain with it in space[5] . It has of late returned back to the Blue Area of the Moon[6]
