What you all seem to be forgetting is that in the original show, the white female archaeologist FINDS the buried jewelry

I never had the honor of viewing this show. However, 75 is the year I was born. I never knew who played the role of Isis. I just heard that she was black. So tonight, I googled her. She looks like a white woman with a tan. Some pictures she looks Indian. And others, she looks like she has on tanning makeup. I think Catherine Zeta Jones would be nice. They have the same features.

whoever is chosen to play Isis should be someone of ethnic background
(be it african american,egyptian,middle eastern,native american,
hispanic etc.) whose appearance matches the description of the character
who is supposed to be of egyptian descent.
Then you'd better go find some Greek or Lebanese girls, because that's what the Egyptians looked like.
Sure seems like a lot of people here have already drank the Kool Aid and bought into all the fictional afrocentric revisionist history that's been so popular since the mid-80's; the Egyptians were black, blacks built America, blacks invented all music, the Civil War was fought over slavery, whites rounded up black villagers as slaves in Africa All false, yet all are "common knowledge" amongst the contemporary ignorati.
There is plenty of racism left in the world, and most of it is coming from "people of color", like the OP who thinks that they're entitled to be as racist as they want as long as it's pro-black.
LOL The Ancient Egyptians did not look Greek or Lebanese. Give me a break. I see its acceptable for any person of color to be an Egyptian EXCEPT BLACK.
Blacks didn't build America? Really? Then what the f-ck was the point of obtaining slaves? So all the work to go and buy slavesmust have been for nothing if they didn't build sh-t! -

What African-American Actress should play Isis in the new movie?

It would be nice if they take the Egyptian goddess who was black and give the lead to a black actress. I'm sure they won't but if they did..who would you like to see?
Unfortunately, it will never happen. I saw this television series as a child and collected the comics. I never would have guessed that the original Isis was in fact, a woman of color. What a crime that such an influential artistic medium is used so irresponsibly!

Man American blacks are annoying these days
Everything has to be black-ised. every movie.
They are like Greeks, always on the hustle trying to sell their bs.
Have a Greek or Italian woman play Isis, Egypt was a Greek and then a Roman colony.
And Europeans are more important than any blacks.
Eat the Neocons. -

Boggles my mind how everyone ignores the scholars that were actually their and described them.
Herodotus wrote that a Greek oracle was known to be from Egypt because she was black, that the natives of the Nile region are black with heat, and that Egyptians were black skinned with woolly hair.
And Herodotus wasn't the only one that said they were black. But I guess they were just idiots and needed to go back to school to learn their colors. -
