An ancient stone tortoise, which is thought to date from the Nguyen Dynasty, has been found recently in the central Thua Thien-Hue Province – the ancient imperial capital in 18th and 19th centuries.

A whole lot of "ancients" in this article: but are the 18th and 19th centuries "ancient"? Do they mean B.C., or some other timescale?

Actually it is the 18th and 19th century A.D. which does question the use of the word ancient.
