Uncharted 2 to be set in India?

Uncharted, one of the best games of 2007 for the PS3 is just crying for a sequel and it appears a Easter egg (or a egg of some kind) has possibly revealed what the discoverer believes is the location for the second game. The secret treasure found in the game bares a startling resemblance to the precursor orbs in the Jak and Daxter games (Naughty Dog's previous franchise) and when translated reads "Naughty Dog Manmad"

A Google search brings up manmad as a city in India. Coincidence?

It means something thats for sure
If you find the "strange relic" treasure in the game, you will quickly recognize it to be a precursor orb from the Jak games. There are strange symbols wrapped around the orb. These symbols correspond to letters of the alphabet as already known from the Jak games. So I used this to decipher it

The top row of the egg says "naughty dog".

The bottom row with bigger symbols says "manmad".

At first I thought, what the hell is a manmad? So i googled it.

It seems that Manmad is the name of a city in India.

It kinda makes sense. I don't know much about India but it sounds like there could be treasure in there somewhere.

    This would be a great location to follow what they have already portrated as it is quite different from what you find of games these days.

    Sounds cool. Which ever country its set on, I'm sure it will turn out to be great just like its predecessor.

    I didn't know storm was, I knew krunal was.

    Anyways, I still think china would be a better setting. Unless we get to go to the himalayas.

    Manmad sounds like a misspelling of Manmade.

    Lol Red 9, I was thinking, 'did they miss a letter?'. But yeah, it makes sense that India would be the next game's location. It has plenty of unexplored ruins, I'm sure. Some secret tribes and stuff....

    I only just got Uncharted though, so I'm gonna beat that first

    Awesome relic though. I want to get that Precursor orb type relic Jak and Daxter: The Precursor's Legacy was my first PS2 game Awesome game (graphics were awesome too, at the time)++
