    Coral Castle In Florida

    This is one of the mind boggling mysteries that still is today...
    The photo below is stone structure that still puzzles architects, engineers and scientists today! Named Coral Castle, it was built by Edward Leedskalnin – a 5ft, 100lb immigrant from Latvia..who moved to Florida, USA in the 1920s.

    Edward dropped out of school in the 4th grade and was not seen to be a very intelligent person…some people even thought that he was crazy! When he arrived in Florida, he would walk around poking at the soil, saying that he wanted good land but when farmers gave him real prime farming land, he would reject it.

    You can see in the videos below that he knew what he was looking for – he knew what type of land he wanted and what type of material he was going to use to build his castle. He used blocks of limestone that were formed from coral. What is really amazing, and still puzzling to people today, is how precisely he could cut these stones…and how he could lift them up when they weighed several tonnes!!

    Whenever people asked him, he’d just smile and say that he knew the ‘secret’. This secret is the same one that was apparently known to those who built the Egyptian pyramids and Stonehenge in England. To move these incredibly heavy objects, they would manipulate the magnetic properties of the objects…so that they would REPEL the Earth’s magnetic field and thereby lift off the ground.

        This is pretty awesome, except the part where he smiled and said "I know the secret" is creepy, and it makes you wonder if he really does, or he's just insane.

            He obviously built this on his own.

              Not yet, but I plan to. This is some crazy stuff if you ask me and its always intriguing on how the Egyptians did it.

                This is one thought on it....

                I'm not saying I believe....but try the "levitation" trick with some friends.
                It's weird to say the least!

                  All this levitation garbage and urban legend nonsense trying to make this thing a tourist trap.

                  Have you ever watched anything about the guy who built a stonehenge replica in his back yard? Guy moved and placed monolithic stones all by himself using nothing but a pile of 2x4s and rope. He wasn't even using block and tackle like this guy likely did.

                      The guy never said he used levitation.

                        I have no idea what the guy claimed, I was responding to this:
