The statement was about skin cancer, and the implication is that they did nothing about it.
Sunscreen is a 20th century term, and modern sunscreen as we know it came into use in the mid-20th century.
The statement being made by others is that "ancients" applied a topical substance to protect their skin from harmful effects of the sun, most would call that sunscreen[0] but use whatever word you prefer.

No one is making this claim.
