Be a shame if something happened to it so close to 10,000y old

It was more like a slow flood for most of the world, but the Straits of Gibraltar collapsed under pressure from the Atlantic (it used to be a land bridge), and the Mediterranean flooded quite swiftly. This happened during the thawing of the last ice age, so this tree probably wasn't around. It also brought in massive amounts of silt and sand into the the Mediterranean, so who knows what we'll find down there once we can look under.

another fun fact, the great lakes were also formed by this event, and the area under them and around them, the crust of the earth is still rebounding, which just shows you how huge those ice sheets were; it's estimated sea levels rose 250-300 ft due to the melting,.

Earth did get Noah level rainfall, but about 4 billion years ago when it cooled enough to let water start condensing. Probably no one around to build a boat. Even if there was, the only life was maybe bacterial. So a boat wouldn’t be necessary. A girls jeans pocket would have big enough to carry two of every species.
