The writer of this article stated the following:
"Scholars have traditionally been doubtful of the Egyptians' ability to make long sea voyages".
The above is a traditional racially-bent European malicious distortions of factual history in discreding any achievements of anyone from the African continent.
This term of using so-called "scholars" should actually have been correctly written as "European Scholars" as there are factually "scholars" from other continents whose findings have always been blatantly suppressed by these radical racists from the European circle.
Even in this present day and age, there still exist a majority of Europeans and descandants thereof who have been kept in the dark about factual history by their own people and nevertheless will continue to be kept in the dark until Jesus returns and open their eyes.

You are not the only one to spot that racial bias among scholars. In 1963, when I was a freshman majoring in Biology at Langston University in Oklahoma, we had a "Science and Life" week in which visiting scholars discussed the Theory of Evolution. They upheld the white male with a degree from Oxford or Cambridge as the supreme "end-product" of evolution. By implication, non-whites and non-educated people were not "fully evolved." While I have no problem with the theory itself. I do have problems with its intended applications as "Social Darwinism, Eugenics, and other "scientific" ideologies. When I was in my teens, our family doctor led a local movement to have me castrated for the "eugenic flaw" of having a brown father and a white mother. My white mother actively killed that scheme - disproving, by the ways the theory of another scientist named Freud.
