The lost science of the ancient pyramids was discovered by a modern man, Ed Leedskalnin, who single-handedly built a limestone castle for his beloved.
Today, Coral Castle stands on the edge of the Florida Everglades, ready to withstand any hurricane. Built in the early 1920s for Ed Leedskalnin’s girlfriend, Agnes Scuffs, this masterpiece has been compared to the Great Pyramids due to the precise cut and fit of the stones, and the size and weight of the stones used to create the castle Leedskalnin claims that the library was the source of the “lost” construction methods used to create the pyramids and Coral Castle.
Who is Ed Leedskalnin?
Before Leedskalnin was born, his mother visited a psychic named Madame Drusa. She predicted that a son would be born at the end of March, 30 days early, and that she would have a restless spirit. Furthermore, she saw that he was once a resident of Atlantis as a sculptor and that this life would awe the world, bringing back an ancient lost science used in the Great Pyramids. Born in 1887, in Riga, Latvia, he left shortly after his 26th birthday. The day before Leedskalnin got married, his fiancĂ©e called off her wedding and didn’t tell him why. Heartbroken, Leedskalnin finally landed in Florida City, Florida, and bought an acre of land for $12. Here, he began to build his dream home for his beloved, known today as Coral Castle.
Hand tools made from a junkyard
With just a shovel, a disembodied wheelbarrow, small blocks and tackle and truck springs that he sharpened into wedges, Leedskalnin spent his nights moving up to 30 tons of rock to create the castle walls. Weighing a mere 100 pounds and standing 5 feet tall, he would only say that he knew the secrets to building the ancient pyramids and if he could learn them, others could master these techniques as well. Leedskalnin is said to have worked alone. No one ever saw him work, if someone approached him, he seemed to have a sixth sense of being watched and immediately stopped working.
Leedskalnin and the power of magnetic therapy
Leedskalnin says that he was cured of tuberculosis through a device called the “Megatron”, which functioned as a battery charger for the body. He placed a magnet inside a wooden pyramid wrapped with copper wire. Every afternoon from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., he would sunbathe on his back, wearing dark blue sunglasses, repeating the mantra his grandfather shared about the essentials of happiness: “Something to do, something to love.” and something to look forward to.” According to Leedskalnin, he harnessed a source of electrical energy that he called “Magneticity”. He thought that this should be called electricity, arguing that in reality they are nothing more than magnets. He hoped to provide everyone with free, clean energy. Many more surreal tales surround the Coral Castle saga and, as with other lost civilizations like Stonehenge, the Egyptian Sphinx, and the Great Pyramids, a mystery remains.
The secret of the coral castle
Several years later, still alone but not dejected, Leedskalnin moved his entire castle, piece by piece, ten miles north to its present location in Homestead, Florida. Even though he claimed he built it out of love, why did he design Coral Castle to be a star-aligned, polaris astronomical observatory of 1,100 tons of coral? fully furnished with a sundial, 25 ton rocking chairs and a 9 ton swinging door? In 1951 Leedskalnin died and left a great legacy. However, in 1984, his artwork received recognition and was added to the National Register of Historic Places. So the question is, will the secret of this lost science surface again in a future generation?
