Do you think they are going to change Akasha's place of origin?

Akasha in the novels is from Uruk (in present day Iraq), and then moved to Egypt where she got married and all the events of the story of the first vampires unfolded. I'm just wondering if you guys thinks she will be from further down south in Africa in the show version of events, since the actress doesn't have the same ethnicity as Iraqi people (which, AFAIK, was similar to today, even 6000 years ago).

Note that I have nothing against such a change or the choice of actress. It doesn't make the story worse in any way I can think of if she's from another place. I'm just curious, I like speculating and trying to predict where they will take the show.
