The
Secrets of Coral Castle
from
Paranormal Website
Did a Latvian immigrant rediscover the
secrets to the building of the pyramids... of levitation... of
anti-gravity? His amazing "castle" may hold clues to long-lost
powers.
Coral Castle in Homestead, Florida, is one of the most amazing
structures ever built. In terms of accomplishment, it’s been
compared to Stonehenge, ancient Greek temples, and even the great
pyramids of Egypt. It is amazing – some even say miraculous –
because it was quarried, fashioned, transported, and constructed by
one man: Edward Leedskalnin, a 5-ft. tall, 100-lb. Latvian
immigrant.
Many men have single-handedly built their own homes, but
Leedskalnin’s choice of building materials is what makes his
undertaking so incredible. He used huge blocks of coral rock, some
weighing as much as 30 tons, and somehow was able to move them and
set them in place without assistance or the use of modern machinery.
And therein lies the mystery. How did he do it?
It’s estimated that 1,000 tons of coral rock were used in
construction of the walls and towers, and an additional 100 tons of
it were carved into furniture and art objects:
-
An obelisk he raised weighs 28
tons
-
The wall surrounding Coral
Castle stands 8 ft. tall and consists of large blocks each
weighing several tons
-
Large stone crescents are
perched atop 20-ft.-high walls
-
A 9-ton swinging gate that moves
at the touch of a finger guards the eastern wall
-
The largest rock on the property
weighs an estimated 35 tons
-
Some stones are twice the weight
of the largest blocks in the Great Pyramid at Giza
Working alone, Leedskalnin labored for
20 years – from 1920 to 1940 – to build the home he originally
called “Rock Gate Park” in Florida City.
The story goes that he
built it after being jilted by his fiancée, who changed her mind
about marrying him because he was too old and too poor. After
wandering around the U.S. and Canada for several years, Leedskalnin
settled in Florida City for health reasons; he had been diagnosed
with tuberculosis. He began building his coral home in 1920. Then in
1936, when a planned new subdivision of homes threatened his
privacy, Leedskalnin moved his entire home 10 miles to Homestead,
where he completed it, and where it still stands as a tourist
attraction.
How Leedskalnin managed this feat of engineering has remained a
mystery all these years because, incredibly, no one saw him do it. A
secretive man, Leedskalnin often worked at night by lantern light.
And so there are no credible witnesses to how the small, frail man
was able to move the huge blocks of rock. Even when he moved the
entire structure to Homestead, neighbors saw the coral blocks being
transported on a borrowed truck, but no one seems to know how
Leedskalnin got them on and off the vehicle.
Lots of weird stories have been told and bizarre theories proposed
to explain Coral Castle. And since no witness can dispute any of
them, they are all worthy of consideration.
The
Theories
One story says that some curious neighbors did see how Leedskalnin
moved the stones. They say he placed his hands on the stone to be
lifted... and sang. Somehow this levitated the great rocks.
According to an article in Fate magazine, “some teenagers spying on
him one evening claimed they saw him ‘float coral blocks through the
air like hydrogen balloons,’ but no one took them seriously.”
Frank Joseph, in the Fate magazine article, also writes,
“Alternative science investigators
suggest that Leedskalnin somehow learned the secret of the
‘world grid,’ an invisible pattern of energy lines surrounding
the Earth which concentrates points of telluric power where they
intersect. It was here, at one of these intersections of Earth
energy, that he was supposedly able to move his prodigious stone
blocks using the unseen power of our planet.”
Yet that still does no explain how
Leedskalnin was able to tap this power, and others cannot.
Coral Castle quotes
J.Cathie, a captain flying with National
Airways Corp. of New Zealand, as saying:
“Measurements from the Coral Castle
position to the zero-degree and 90-degree longitude lines, when
they passed through the equator, also yielded harmonics related
to light and gravity. The final check of the distance between
Coral Castle and grid pole A in the north, dispelled any doubt
about the site being in an ideal position to allow Leedskalnin
to erect the huge blocks of coral with relative ease.
Measurements from all major points gave the geometric harmonics
necessary for the manipulation of anti-gravity.”
Cathie also believes that this energy
grid is also responsible for many UFO sightings.
In an article by called "The Coral Castle Mystery" in Atlantis
Rising, author Christopher Dunn asserts:
“What if there’s no such thing as
gravity? And the natural forces we already know about are
sufficient to explain the noted phenomena we have labeled as
gravity? Perhaps Leedskalnin’s means of working with the Earth’s
gravitational pull was nothing more complicated than devising a
means by which the alignment of magnetic elements within his
coral blocks was adjusted to face the streams of individual
magnets he claims are issuing forth from the Earth with a like
repelling pole.”
When
he was personally asked how he managed the feat, Leedskalnin replied
only that he understood the laws of weight and leverage. He is
quoted as saying,
“I have discovered the secrets of
the pyramids. I have found out how the Egyptians and the ancient
builders in Peru, Yucatan, and Asia, with only primitive tools,
raised and set in place blocks of stone weighing many tons.”
According the The Enigma of Coral
Castle,
“Ed flatly disagreed with modern
science, and claimed that the scientists were wrong, ‘that
nature is simple.’ He believed all matter consisted of
individual magnets, and it is the movement of these magnets
within materials, and through space, that produce measurable
phenomena, magnetism, and electricity. These concepts ‘involved
the relationship of the Earth to celestial alignments.’ He
claimed to see beads of light which he believed to be the
physical presence of nature’s magnetism and life force, or what
we term today, chi.”
Was Leedskalnin being deceptive when he
talked about magnetism and electricity, trying to make his
accomplishment more mystical and mysterious than it actually was?
Had he merely found a very clever way to manipulate the great stones
with levers and pulleys? We may never know the answer.
Leedskalnin
took his secrets with him to his grave in 1951... secrets that await
to be rediscovered.
Leedskalnin on
Magnetic Current
Ed Leedskalnin wrote several booklets which he sold to tourists as
they marveled at his structure. One of them, called “Magnetic
Current”. In it he
reveals the results of two years of experiments with magnets.
Perhaps he reveals his secrets of
levitation when he writes:
“The real magnet is the substance
that is circulating in the metal. Each particle in the substance
is an individual magnet by itself, and both North and South Pole
individual magnets.
They are so small that they can pass
through anything. In fact they can pass through metal easier
than through the air.
They are in constant motion, they
are running one kind of magnets against the other kind, and if
guided in the right channels they possess perpetual power.”
