For thousands of years, the ancient city of Temlaxam has lived in the adaawx, or oral histories, of First Nations in northwestern B.C.
Temlaxam, which extended more than 80 kilometres downstream from the confluence of the Skeena and Bulkley rivers, is said to have been so extensive that “the birds, exhausted, fall to the ground before they are able to traverse the whole city,” according to the adaawx. The name of the walled city, which featured networks of streets and longhouses, translates to “where life is good.”
But Temlaxam was to become a cautionary tale. Its occupants’ mistreatment of the natural environment was blamed for geological and other disasters, including a catastrophic landslide some 3,500 years ago. The residents dispersed, becoming the Gitanyow, Gitxsan, Nisga’a and Ts’msyen, also known as Tsimshian — First Nations that still share similar languages today.
Beyond the adaawx and some archeological evidence, little is known about the lost city.
Now, a recently published paper, “Genetic Differentiation and Precolonial Indigenous Cultivation of Hazelnut (Corylus cornuta, Betulaceae) in Western North America,” is shedding new light on Temlaxam and the people who lived there, indicating that they transported, planted and cultivated beaked hazelnuts, which still thrive in the area. | |

But how we might eventually resurrect remains unclear. What use is pressing pause without a restart button? There, he accepts, we’re firmly into the field of sci-fi. Unfazed, Zeleznikow-Johnston opines that major advances in nanomedicine offer one route; else there’s what’s known as mind-uploading, or mind-emulation – transferring someone to a digital form. “Break down the elements and it’s a fairly straightforward extrapolation from today’s technology,” he says. “Take very high resolution scans of brain structure to characterise how someone’s neurons work, recreate it in a digital format then put it in another robotic, virtual or biological body.” Future scientists will need to fill in the details. “Yet if the memories and experiences which define us are held on to, a person has survived. A robotic or digital brain, if done right, I’d argue, is still you.” | |

A 29-year-old man allegedly claimed to be a surgeon and performed cosmetic procedures on women that he was not qualified to do.
“It is alleged that the accused introduced himself to four women at a dog park in the area,” Const. Shannon Eames said in a statement released Saturday, adding the man allegedly “identified himself as Harvey Archambeau, a surgeon at a local hospital.”
She said the man offered to perform cosmetic procedures on the woman at his residence.
The women allegedly went to the man’s home and received what they believed was Botox, Ozempic, and Salmon DNA injections. | |

Ricci Wynne, a social media agitator and frequent Fox News guest known for spotlighting San Francisco’s drug and homelessness crises, was charged Wednesday with pimping and pandering in a case that spans over the last 18 months, court records show.
The felony charges came days after Wynne, 39, and an unidentified female companion were taken into custody at San Francisco International Airport. Police conducted a probation search of Wynne’s Fremont Street residence and booked him into jail. The woman was released.
Wynne pleaded not guilty on Wednesday afternoon during his arraignment in San Francisco Superior Court. A judge ordered that he be released to the custody of U.S. Marshals, following an allegation that Wynne violated his probation in a separate federal case. Wynne will later be returned to local custody, where he could argue to be released pending trial.
The allegations brought by prosecutors appear consistent with the account of a woman who spoke to the Chronicle on Wednesday who said Wynne attempted to recruit her for prostitution. | |
