The author of the article just rephrased what the arkies said, but this group seems to have a penchant for publicity. The finds are pretty interesting; the ships were not found (which isn’t surprising, ancient ships either sank, burned, or got cut up for salvage, just as modern boats do), but there are inscriptions on artifacts, coils of rope right where they were left by sailors (and those should be RC dated; they’ll be centuries too young for the conventional pseudochronology), other stuff. This site is the real deal. The original Suez Canal went from the east branch of the Nile down to the Gulf of Suez, but that hadn’t been built yet in Hatshepsut’s time.
