You know what might be a good opportunity here, depending on where this is going? They should place the Halls in copies of their original, Egyptian bodies. It's a rare opportunity to turn two semi-major names into character of color that doesn't require replacing them with successors. The Egypt's angle been there from the beginning, and they've never shied from emphasizing it, so it wouldn't even come off as forced or contrived.
If the story is good, sure, but just making them Egyptian for the sake of making them Egyptian comes across as gimmicky "Hey look we are EXACTLY the same, only EGYPTIAN"
