Within the continental United States, there are no pyramids or great stone circles. Surprisingly, the most impressive STONE site in America was built in the 20th Century. Coral Castle, near Homestead Florida, is a mind-blowing mystery. It has been called 'the 8th Wonder of the World.' This 'engineering marvel' contains over 1100 tons of cut and trimmed, dense, coral blocks. The interlocking stones form a castle that were set in place without mortar. Twenty-five miles from Miami, these elegantly carved stones have astronomical alignments.
What amplifies the enigma is that Coral Castle was built SINGLE-HANDEDLY by a small, sickly man named Edward Leedskalnin. Ed only weighed 100 pounds and stood no more than 5 feet tall. How could such a small man, alone and without any equipment, have accomplished this engineering feat? Over 3 million pounds of rock were cut, lifted, transported and set with incredible precision?
In 1919, a young Leedskalnin searched remote areas in Florida for a particular spot of land. He had advanced tuberculosis and was nursed to health by a Mr. Moser and his family. Soon, Ed recovered. He rode his bike and eventually found the place he was looking for. Ed picked the worst acre of land in the state. It was solid bedrock; nothing could grow on it. Mr. Moser gladly gave Ed the land. Later, the Mosers could not believe their eyes. Little Ed had cut and lifted a 10 ton block right out of the bedrock.
Modern engineers were asked: What would it take, with large diamond tools and state of the art machinery, to duplicate Coral Castle? Their answer was: 'It couldn't be done.'
Ed was asked: How did you do it? He would reply: 'It's not difficult, really. The secret is in knowing how.' He was asked: Why did you do it? 'Someday, my Sweet 16 will come,' was always his response.
The hermit constructed his castle in tribute to his Sweet 16. Curious locals came to see what Ed was doing. Leedskalnin had a sixth sense and knew when neighbors approached. He stopped work every time. No one ever saw exactly how the stones were cut and moved. There were a few reports that the rocks moved themselves. (There are similar legends about Easter Island; that the statues moved themselves).
In the 1930s, a gang of thugs thought Ed had hidden riches. They beat him up and tried to rob him. Ed was shocked at this invasion into his private world. The attack motivated Leedskalnin to move Coral Castle! He picked up every megalith (some stones weighed up to 30 tons) and transported his entire castle. He hired a local trucker, but the driver was always directed to look away as Ed loaded the truck. All 3 million pounds of hard coral was moved 10 miles to its present location near Homestead Florida.
Coral Castle took 28 years to complete. Sixty years ago, Ed Leedskalnin would have taken you on a guided tour and only charged you 10 cents. Each piece of his wonderful rock garden would have been explained...with the exception of precisely how it was levitated.
The inspiration for all of Ed's efforts was his Sweet 16. Billy Idol even wrote a song pertaining to this 'lost love.' If you go to Internet sites on C.C., headlines read: 'ONE MAN'S MONUMENT TO UNREQUITED LOVE.' When Ed was 26, Agnes Scuffs rejected him one day before they were to be married. But, she might not have been the real Sweet 16. When asked about Sweet 16, Ed would look to the sky with a glazed expression on his face.
Coral Castle contains amazing stone towers in harmony with nature; the sun; the Moon and the planets. A huge, 9-ton rock that functions as a door is perfectly balanced. One push from a small child can open it. Children are known to be particularly attracted to the castle in the same way they are fond of dinosaurs. Ed shared their same sense of playfulness.
How did Ed construct Coral Castle? The little man only had a fourth grade education back in Latvia. Yet, he possessed the secret of anti-gravity! Ed was very intelligent and a skilled electrical engineer. He experimented with electromagnetism. Leedskalnin demonstrated to neighbors his strange machines. He was able to generate his own electricity. Ed wrote a total of 5 pamphlets; one called 'Magnetic Current' is as incomprehensible as Einstein's Unified Field Theory. He admitted that he could produce anti-gravity and knew how the ancient pyramids were built.
When Ed lifted the many-ton stones onto the truck away from the driver's view...this probably was done with a small (hand-held) device that created a strong, magnetic field. The apparatus, on the order of a tuning fork, might have vibrated at just the right frequency.
If you see photos of Ed Leedskalnin, you will notice a physical resemblance to Nikola Tesla. He was a small version of Tesla. There are many parallels between the two: Each were thin; had similar faces with drawn-in cheeks; each were European immigrants; they experimented with electromagnetism; each were obsessed with celestial bodies and often seen in formal suits. Were they related? Leedskalnin was a bit younger than Tesla. Tesla said that anti-gravity can be created by a 'rotating magnetic field.' Also, Ed's idea of a special land conducive for his purposes is not different than the Tesla/Matthews concept that the energy is already in the ground; waiting for someone to tap into it. There is no known connection to these two mystery men. But, the similarities are too coincidental to doubt.
Bruce Cathie is a researcher who also has a world map of harmonic grid points. {His map has many more components that my 13-point map. Looking at his map, many of our locations coincide}. He believes that the 'special land' that Leedskalnin searched for and found was positioned on one of these EM vortexes. These power-point, ley lines could have made possible the construction of Coral Castle.
In 1980, a home movie was discovered at C.C. that shows an animated Ed. He was a simple man for all of his advanced intelligence. His neighbors knew him as a kind and gentle soul. In 1951, he died at the age of 64 from malnutrition. Was Sweet 16 a female alien from Venus? Is he with her now?
One final note: A plaque was found in Ed's bedroom. It read: THE SECRET TO THE UNIVERSE IS 7129 / 6105195. To those of you interested in deciphering this additional mystery: Good Luck!
