Tampa Bay area must have been a paradise back in their day.

That’s what the fellow that had 300 cats in his freezers was keeping them for, waiting for his Euell Gibbons Cook Book.

archaeologists say it was used to paddle over the open waters of the bay...or it wasn't sea worthy and plunged into the muck minutes after hitting the water. Experts have not ruled out the possibility of it striking an iceberg that drifted south. A result of global warming.

Southern yellow pine = lob-lolly pine. Once dried it is so hard a cat couldn't scratch it.

Of course. I'm not saying it's a bad thing.
You don't need to take this personally. It's not an insult, so I don't know why you're making a big deal about it.

You ever try to hollow out a 50 foot tree?........
with stone tools no less! Trained beavers. They do the rough work, then the guys with the stone tools do the finishing.
I saw it done on a Looney Tunes documentary.

The canoe is estimated to be only 1,100 years old. When compare to the accomplishments of the Romans, Greeks, Egyptian, Mayans and Chinese (to name just a few) cultures, then I would 100% agree with your classification of “simple”. It’s a 40’ canoe not a 4,000 mile wall or 150 yard tall pyramid.

My tribe built Longships and traveled up and down the coasts and rivers looking for silver, slaves, and new lands to settle. They also used what nature had to offer.

And a hardy bunch they were. They didn’t invent plundering and rape but they perfected it. LOL
