Do you believe Akasha's birthplace will be changed from Uruk to Egypt?
Hello,
So honestly? While I don't think they'll change it to her being from Egypt, I have no idea what the show might do with it.
I mean, they changed Armand's birthplace to reflect Assad's casting, so it's not likely that the show is against doing something like that with other characters going forward.
But I don't know enough historical facts and data about what the people of Uruk really looked like 6000 years ago (which was around 4000 BCE) to make a judgment call, one way or another, if the show will keep that as her birthplace or not.
Because all of this backstory with Akasha took place long before the widespread western colonization of people became a thing, which might factor into how people from that area looked at that time. Again, I'm not an expert on this at all, but if so, then what we think of how someone from modern-day Iraq looks like (the place where Uruk was) might not be at all what someone from that same area looked like 6000 years ago.
But again, I don't know enough history about the area to say so for certain either way about it. So again, I can't say for sure what they are going to do wrt where Akasha will be from in the show. So they might not have her be from there either, and could just go with a whole other country/place, too.
However, her not being from Egypt, and her just going there to marry Enkil in an arranged marriage, is something I don't think the show will change, whatever else they may or may not modify wrt her background. But I honestly can't be sure. Not right now, at any rate. 🤷🏾♀️
