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.
(I wanna fight some more!)
But yeah I didnt realise this was history memes, and that people do practice and correct knowledge here haha
