Be wary of rumors my friends. I'm not saying they're wrong, but 4chan has been, scratch that, is known for pulling crazy shit. It would only take a small group of "friends," or one dedicated individual, with a single piece of info to knit a wool scarf that could be pulled over everyone's eyes.

It's been known since 2013 that the director of Black Flag wanted to do Egypt.

I think it's more the fact that Kotaku, which previously correctly leaked Unity and Syndicate, claims to have sources corroborating the story than that a sole random 4chan user claimed. Also I think most people use the term 'Ancient Egypt' rather liberally.
