Why would Akkadian or semite myths speak about a people that not only isn't theirs, but also unknown?

that's a trap question and you know it!

(because I thought they shared the same ancestor, but apparently they don't -- there, ya happy now?)

Sorry, I didn't mean to come across this way. I didn't think you thought Akkadians or Sumerians were Indo-European peoples. Indeed, your idea makes more sense now.

My understanding was that you thought a people could have myths centered on another people. I also didn't understand how thought possible to tell stories about an unknown people. No point in arguing over this now, since it's all clear now.
