Currently the only Egyptian Heroes are Midwives and Pharaoh's daughter, according to the REG. I guess it comes down to, what really defines a person from a civilization? Is it that they were born there? That they were most known (or completely known) from being from that civilization? It might be a somewhat important question to have answered, in this and other cases.

Yeah, Leah and Rachel are full-bloods. The twelve boys are half-bloods but were born at Laban's which we can only assume is in Syria.

I think it's much safer to assume that Laban's was in Syria than... say... some place like Iowa.
