Coral Castle - 20th Century Wonder
|
||
|
||
From time immemorial, men have created fabulous stone works that
|
||
have excited the curiosity of later generations. People have
|
||
marveled at the Pyramids of Egypt, Stonehenge of England, the Great
|
||
Wall of China, and other famous stone works scattered about the
|
||
earth.
|
||
|
||
One of the most awe-inspiring stone creations is the Coral Castle of
|
||
Florida, created single-handedly by the late Edward Leedskalnin, an
|
||
obscure Latvian immigrant. Located 25 miles south of Miami on U.S.
|
||
Highway 1, it is breathtaking in scope and imagination, unbelievable
|
||
for skill and patience required. Constructed in complete secrecy, it
|
||
baffles engineers and laymen alike.
|
||
|
||
The story of this fantastic castle began more than 50 years ago when
|
||
Edward Leedskalnin came to South Florida. He chose this sparsely
|
||
settled section of Florida because he "wanted to get away from the
|
||
world." Here he began many years of self-induced hard labor in
|
||
order to forget his unrequited love for his one and only sweetheart.
|
||
This young girl who he always referred to as his "Sweet Sixteen,"
|
||
jilted him for another on the eve of their wedding day in his native
|
||
Latvia. An extremely sensitive soul, he was deeply hurt and made
|
||
the decision to leave his native country and seek solace elsewhere.
|
||
|
||
Here on the edge of the Everglades he apparently felt he was far
|
||
enough away from people, and settled down on a small plot of land
|
||
which a generous neighbor permitted him to use.
|
||
|
||
He built a house from logs cut from the surrounding pine trees and
|
||
coral rock which he quarried on the premises. Thus began the
|
||
strange and unusual project he set for himself, interrupted only by
|
||
his moving to a larger plot of ground three miles north of
|
||
Homestead, which after 25 years of continuous labor culminated in
|
||
the completion of what can only be described as one of the strangest
|
||
works of man in all history.
|
||
|
||
The Coral Castle is no ordinary structure. It is set on a 10-acre
|
||
tract of land, the castle proper being surrounded by an eight-foot-
|
||
high wall made of huge blocks of coral rock, each weighing several
|
||
tons.
|
||
|
||
The tower contains 243 tons, the first floor of which Leedskalnin
|
||
|
||
Page 1
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
used as a workshop and the second floor housed his living quarters.
|
||
An air of mystery prevailed about these quarters since no one was
|
||
permitted entry.
|
||
|
||
Behind the huge walls of the castle in beautiful settings are
|
||
fantastic pieces of coral rock furniture and movable objects which
|
||
he created from his fertile imagination. There are rocking chairs
|
||
weighing thousands of pounds so delicately balanced they move at the
|
||
touch of a finger.
|
||
|
||
Couches, beds, chairs, tables of all sizes and shapes, including one
|
||
table hewn from solid coral rock into the shape of the state of
|
||
Florida, and another cut into the shape of a heart with a beautiful
|
||
ever-blooming floral centerpiece growing out of the center of this
|
||
rock table.
|
||
|
||
There are huge crescents atop walls 20 feet high, an obelisk
|
||
reaching up to the sky weighing 28 tons that Leedskalnin set in
|
||
place by the use of simple hand tools. There is an ingenious
|
||
Polaris telescope carved out of the coral rock standing 25 foot in
|
||
height. As in most castles there is a subterranean well, with a
|
||
circular staircase carved out of the rock leading down into the
|
||
water. Leedskalnin's famous nine-ton gate is in the east wall.
|
||
|
||
The Coral Castle has become a familiar sight over the years to
|
||
travelers on US Higway 1 on the way to the Florida Keys. Many,
|
||
ntrigued by this coral edifice have taken the time to explore it,
|
||
while others raced by wondering at its incongruity in this modern
|
||
world of ours.
|
||
|
||
Those who stopped were met by the man who constructed this
|
||
monumental work, and guided around while he explained its many
|
||
mysteries. But one thing he never told anyone was how he ever was
|
||
able to move the huge coral rocks weighing up to 35 tons which he
|
||
excavated single-handed. When asked, he replied simply that he knew
|
||
the secrets used in the building of the Pyramids of Egypt.
|
||
|
||
Whatever the secrets or principles of construction he used, they
|
||
died with him when he passed away in a Miami hospital in December,
|
||
1951. It can be said his knowledge of the practical use of pulleys
|
||
and levers was not exceeded by the ancient Greeks or Egyptians.
|
||
|
||
Altogether there are approximately 1000 tons of coral rock used in
|
||
the construction of the walls and tower alone, a stupendous
|
||
achievement for one man, unequaled in all history. In addition more
|
||
than 100 tons of coral rock were used in the carvings of the
|
||
artistic objects throughout the entire castle.
|
||
|
||
Recognition of Edward Leedskalnin's masterpiece has grown steadily
|
||
over the years. Acknowledged today as possibly the best example of
|
||
native or primitive art in the United States, it is also acclaimed
|
||
as one of the finest examples of massive stone construction in
|
||
America. It is considered by many as one of the true wonders of the
|
||
world.
|
||
|
||
For more than 50 years it has been a landmark of South Florida, and
|
||
Leedskalnin has become a legendary figure. Thus, although he never
|
||
again saw the girl who inspired him, the Coral Castle of South
|
||
Florida stands as a monument for all to see and marvel at the
|
||
genius, imagination and skill of this strange but brilliant man.

Coral Castle :
|
||
A Monumental Feat Accomplished by One Man
|
||
by Fred Graham
|
||
|
||
A frail man weighing not more than 100 pounds quarried a piece of
|
||
coral from the earth weighing over 28 tons. He then transported it,
|
||
raised it, all alone, without the aid of machinery or modern tools.
|
||
|
||
Edward Leedskalnin of South Florida did just that and much more. He
|
||
cut, quarried and raised a castle consisting of over 1,000 tons of
|
||
coral rock and 100 tons of carvings, the greatest achievement in our
|
||
history. His coral building blocks included stones weighing twice
|
||
the weight of the largest block of the Great Pyramid. His creation
|
||
of Rock Gate, later to be called Coral Castle, ranks with the great
|
||
wonders of our world....with the mysteries in stone on Easter Island
|
||
and with Stonehenge in England. It is located on U.S. 1 25 miles
|
||
south of Miami.
|
||
|
||
To this day, no one, not scientist or engineer, can explain how he
|
||
was able to accomplish this Herculean project.
|
||
|
||
B. J. Cathie, a captain flying with National Airways Corp. of New
|
||
Zealand and author of "Harmonic 33" and "Harmonic 695, the UFO and
|
||
Anti-Gravity," presents a look into the Coral Castle happening that
|
||
Ed just might agree with if he were alive today.
|
||
|
||
Cathie's well researched theory is that a vast power grid that
|
||
governs a whole array of extra-ordinary and unrelated world
|
||
phenomena has been set up "between some groups on this planet and
|
||
the UFOs."
|
||
|
||
Captain Cathie believes that "one day the scientists will no longer
|
||
be able to turn their backs on the basic precepts of true science.
|
||
They will have to examine all evidence impartially before they reach
|
||
their conclusions; and instead of offering only ridicule, they will
|
||
carry out a full world-wide investigation into all the phenomena
|
||
related to UFO's and the grid from which those vehicles are drawing
|
||
their power."
|
||
|
||
In his writing he says, "We wonder; couldn't it be that the
|
||
scientists have the full explanation of UFO's, and for reasons not
|
||
yet clear, are deliberately keeping the knowledge as a jealously
|
||
guarded secret within their own closed ranks?"
|
||
|
||
The captain explains that there exists, on our globe, an all-
|
||
encompassing grid, the interlocking lines of which correspond to the
|
||
lines of flight of verified UFO appearances.
|
||
|
||
Once the discovery of a geometric pattern of UFO activity was made,
|
||
it seemed to indicate a definite purpose in the presence of UFO's
|
||
about our planetary surface. When the grid was broken down into
|
||
mathematical coordinates, it was found that all values represented
|
||
in the grid had direct harmonic relationships with the speed of
|
||
light, gravity and earth mass.
|
||
|
||
When the author correlated all of the different phenomena, he
|
||
concluded, "All major changes of the physical state, anywhere in the
|
||
world, are brought about by the harmonic interactions of those
|
||
manifestations which we refer to as; gravity, light, mass,
|
||
|
||
Page 3
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
electrical and magnetic forces.
|
||
|
||
The controlled manipulation of these resonant forces would, in my
|
||
hypothesis, make it possible to move mass from one point to another
|
||
in space time (that is, to the eye of a theoretical observer,
|
||
instantaneously)."
|
||
|
||
In summation, Cathie says, "Other 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."
|
||
|
||
It seems that Ed Leedskalnin knew what he was doing when he
|
||
deliberately sele ted this area for the erection of his famed Coral
|
||
Castle.
|
||
|
||
Whether or not he knew the secrets of the Pyramids, or more
|
||
modernly, levitation, anti-gravity or the secret of the UFO grid
|
||
will never be known. His secret died with him in 1951.
|
||
|
||
Was he a man born before his time, or was he a man from perhaps
|
||
another time? Whatever the case, Ed Leedskalnin was a man whose
|
||
mission on earth was known to him. He has left his monuments for us
|
||
to ponder, his secrets for us to discover and his Coral Castle as an
|
||
accomplishment worthy of our admiration and respect.

||
Vangard notes...
|
||
|
||
The above information is sent out as part of a press kit obtained
|
||
by writing Coral Castle of Florida, 28655 S. Federal Hwy.,
|
||
Homestead, Florida 33033.
|
||
|
||
Our attention was first brought to this interesting matter from
|
||
the television show "In Search of...". The story was broadcast
|
||
sometime in 1980 as I recall. From that a phone call was made to
|
||
the proprietors of the structure which yielded the press kit.
|
||
|
||
The TV show said that Leedskalnin was believed to have sang to
|
||
the stones. It was said that he placed his hands on the stone to
|
||
be lifted and sang which somehow caused it to lose weight. NO
|
||
ONE EVER SAW HIM DO THIS! However, the structure remains to show
|
||
he knew something far in advance of engineering technology then
|
||
or now.
|
||
|
||
Another comment from the TV show was that no trace could be seen
|
||
indicating the use of a hoist, pulley or lever/fulcrum.
|
||
|
||
I was so intrigued that I finally flew out there for vacation in
|
||
1986. The site is very impressive and I climbed all over it to
|
||
examine all the stone artifacts.
|
||
|
||
Contrary to the report about no indications of hoists or pulleys,
|
||
I found several rings attached to the outside walls which could
|
||
be used to provide a hoist. Also of interest was the technique
|
||
|
||
Page 4
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Leedskalnin developed to quarry the coral. He would shatter the
|
||
coral to develop a crack, then widen the crack with a tool by
|
||
continual digging.
|
||
|
||
He would then heat up automobile shock absorbers (leaf springs)
|
||
which would cause them to lose their spring. These were then
|
||
placed in the crack between the stones. When cold water was
|
||
poured on them, they would spring open to separate the coral.
|
||
|
||
Leedskalnin also did many experiments, particularly into the area
|
||
of magnets and electricity. His point of view is so different
|
||
from most that KeelyNet will place all the information we have on
|
||
him in consecutive files named LEED1 and up.
|
||
|
||
The next file LEED2 will contain his outlook on politics and how
|
||
property is the main reason for the existence of governments,
|
||
etc. A most discerning viewpoint. All subsequent LEED files
|
||
will contain as much technical info as we have on the subject.
|
||
|
||
As to levitation, the TV show had witnesses who had known
|
||
Leedskalnin. One lady in particular spoke of the singing to the
|
||
stones. Another account says he would have a large truck
|
||
deliver a huge block.
|
||
|
||
When asked if he had a hoist or A-frame to move it, Ed would tell
|
||
the driver to return on the morrow to retrieve his truck.
|
||
Overnite, Leedskalnin would single-handedly manage to move the
|
||
stone from the truck onto his site.
|
||
|
||
One of the witnesses said that many people tried to "catch"
|
||
Leedskalnin in the act of moving a stone so that once and for
|
||
all, his method would be known. She said that he seemed to
|
||
"know" when he was being watched and would simply putter around
|
||
or go to other parts of the structure.
|
||
|
||
At present, the verdict is not in on Leedskalnin. The fact that
|
||
I SAW evidence of physical manipulation techiques does NOT
|
||
preclude the possibility that he had other methods of moving the
|
||
stones.
|
||
|
||
Personally, based on the researches of Keely in addition to
|
||
others, I think levitation CAN be induced in matter, even with
|
||
such a simple tool as the human voice. The priests of Egypt were
|
||
trained to develop deep and resonant voices to carry out their
|
||
priestly functions. The use of voice and music is touted in such
|
||
legends as Orpheus and how music can soothe the savage beast.
|
||
|
||
It is known from the study of CHLADNI surfaces, resonance and
|
||
interference, that all matter is affected to some degree by
|
||
artifically applied waves of force, no matter what the nature of
|
||
the force, i.e. sound, electricity, magnetic fields, heat, etc...
|
||
If the waves are structured and intelligently applied, the
|
||
effects can encompass a wide range of phenomena.
|
||
|
||
Stories and legends abound relating to Egyptians, Mayans, Druids,
|
||
Eastern and Western Indians, etc. exhibiting "powers" generated
|
||
from voice, geometric patterns and/or combinations of substances.
|
||
|
||
If Leedskalnin simply developed a superior means of
|
||
|
||
Page 5
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
multiplication of effort through leverage, then he must have
|
||
researched the matter in local libraries or come to some
|
||
"realization" beyond that currently available.
|
||
|
||
Based on his researches into magnetic current, it would appear
|
||
that Leedskalnin was onto something FAR BEYOND simple leverage.
