This fuzzy canoe is temporarily estimated to be around 500 years old. It's great that it's remained in such good shape during all these years. Yet, I don't think it can be properly classified as "ancient".
Indeed, if we had remnants of the Nina, Pinta or Santa Maria from when Columbus sailed the blue in 1492, we would hardly classify these artifacts as "ancient".

Maybe I can donate it to the Smithsonian.

Cedar has a chemical to it which preserves it and is wjy it is used for fences etc. Generally, once the tree is downed, it is only good for about 100 years and deterioration begins.
I know we treated our cedar posts before we put them in the ground.
