From the article:
In terms of aesthetics, Marvel has created an Atlantis inspired by Aztec culture and mythology with Namor as its ruler. Namor's new look bears some clear Aztec influences. This idea that Marvel is making Namor’s homeland a lost civilization with Aztec connections is supported by the casting of Tenoch Huerta as Namor. While this inclusion adds more diversity to the MCU (which has long been accused of whitewashing), it will also help to distinguish the Namor and the MCU's Atlantis from the DCEU's Aquaman franchise. Audience members unfamiliar with the comics might find it confusing if Marvel chose a CGI The Little Mermaid look for their on-screen Atlantis similar to DC's Aquaman Atlantis. The MCU hasn't completely abandoned the sea kingdom tropes though, as several shots have shown Atlantean soldiers riding whales through the ocean and emerging from the waves alongside sea monsters.
He's not. He is an Atlantean.
