The Gobekli Tepe temple near Sanliurfa, Turkey, is thought to predate civilization. The site isn’t just old, it redefines old: the temple was built 11,500 years ago—a staggering 7,000 years before the Great Pyramid, and more than 6,000 years before Stonehenge first took shape. The ruins are so early that they predate villages, pottery, domesticated animals, and even agriculture—the first embers of civilization.

Living in a hologram
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/eightface/~3/C7DmFt4ktpM/
Our world may be a giant hologram. Our everyday experience might itself be a holographic projection of physical processes that take place on a distant, 2D surface. the 3D information about a precursor star can be completely encoded in the 2D horizon of the subsequent black hole – not unlike the 3D image of an object being encoded in a 2D hologram. Mind blown, check back later (via justin).

Driving right
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/eightface/~3/lCWdXnqaOy4/
Why some countries drive on the right and others on the left. The countries that drive on the left are largely made up of former British colonies, but they do account for 34% of the world’s population.

Art that sells itself
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/eightface/~3/9DPmPZdDDuM/
A Tool to Deceive and Slaughter is a piece of artwork by Caleb Larson that perpetually tries to sells itself. Every ten minutes the black box pings a server on the internet via the ethernet connection to check if it is for sale on the eBay. If its auction has ended or it has sold, it automatically creates a new auction of itself.
