No. 223 - Coral Castle

After learning about Majic Men yesterday, I tuned back into Coast to Coast AM again this morning. I used to listen to the program regularly, but haven't found the time in recent years.

I heard a physicist explain his theory on how pyramids all around the world were created. He explained gravity as a byproduct from the time when the planet was created. He said that gravity exerts a strong downward pressure against an energy force that exerts a strong upward pressure. He suggested that if there was a way to remove the gravitational force in just a certain small area, allowing the upward pressure to be released, then lifting or moving heavy objects would be a trivial task. He suggested googling "Tibetan Acoustic Levitation" and told a fantastical story about Tibetan monks that were able to move very heavy stone blocks using just musical instruments. The acoustic resonance supposedly unlocked the gravitational force exerted on the blocks.

Anyway, after googling the above story, I discovered a mysterious, pyramid-like accomplishment in south Florida.

I learned that Coral Castle is a stone structure located in Homestead, Florida. It was built by one man, Edward Leedskalnin, a Latvian immigrant who mysteriously excavated, carved, and erected over 2.2 million pounds of coral rock, even though he stood only five feet tall and weighed a mere 100 pounds. To this day, no one knows how Ed created the Coral Castle. Built under the cover of night and in secret, at a time when there were no modern construction conveniences, Ed would only say that he knew "the secret of the pyramids."
