Coral Castle

In the early 1920's a castle was built by a single man in Florida.  The castle consists of stones weighing anywhere from 2 tons to 30 tons.  The man who built the stones primarily out of coral was 5 feet tall and his name was Edward Leedskalnin.

Ed was a young man when he came to America from Latvia.  He was 16 years of age and had recently been rejected by the love of his life.  Ed would never find another lover but instead dedicated all that he built in the castle to his one love.

Ed not only built a coral castle but he also built a heart-shaped table, a 22-ton moon block, a 23 ton Jupiter block a 9-ton gate that pivots perfectly on its axis and a 3-ton rocking chair.  Ed built and lifted all of these stones into place by himself.  He would work at night, alone carving and moving the stones into place.

When he was finished he would let people inside the walls for tours of the castle and people from all around the world came to visit.  Many of the visitors came to visit to try and learn his secrets.  Even the U.S. government came to figure out the man's secrets but he never shared a one.

The only information that Ed provided the world with his techniques was in this quote "I have discovered the secrets of the pyramids, and have found out how the Egyptians and ancients builders in Peru, the Yucatan, and Asia, with only primitive tools raised and set in place blocks of stone weighing many tons."

This picture is Ed with his generator that powered his radio and working lights.

Ed believed that all matter in the universe consisted of magnets.  And by using this understanding of the magnets and the polarity in the magnets he can manipulate huge things.

Truly he can't mean that he knew in the 20's with little education he knew that atoms consisted of Protons Neutrons and Electrons and he could manipulate them with little to no effort?!

Ed was said to be a student of the universe.  His stones were built and affixed together with extreme precision.  He was a master of engineering and even though he took his secrets to his grave his mastering of the universe is a legacy that will last as long as the sun burns in the sky.
