I'm surprised to find that there might have been Akkadians around at the same time as Asterix, if WP is to be trusted on the matter, though less surprised that there'd not been any Hittites for many centuries by that point.
That desert was teeming with all sorts: Hittites, Sumerians, Akkadians, Medes, Assyrians, and quite possibly one or two others I've forgotten. I assume most of them were anachronisms inserted for humour value.
