Investigating Coral Castle
Published 8th May 2014 -
“The castle is an extraordinary feat of engineering,
and experts have puzzled over how Leedskalnin, who only had a fourth-grade
education, constructed Coral
Castle by himself. He
reportedly did all of the work in the dark of night, in order to keep his
secrets.” – ABC News
While visiting Coral Castle,
during the winter solstice of 2005, the intention was to investigate the entire
site in search for any clues of how the building process was accomplished. The
reason for the trip to Coral Castle, out of all the great sites in a reasonable
distance, Edward Leedskalnin is the only person in our modern era to claim he
knew how the pyramids in Egypt
were built and left behind the evidence to prove it (34). Before the thought of
visiting Coral Castle hours of online research was
spent on Leedskalnin and the book he had written entitled Magnetic Current
(1). At the time in 2005 there wasn’t as much information available on the
internet but whatever could be located was taken into consideration before the
trip. There were quite a few theories on how he accomplished his mysterious
building methods but no one has yet to actually demonstrate how it was done
from beginning to end. Some have attempted on a smaller level but still to this
day not one single person has accomplished the building feats on the scale of Coral Castle.
Leedskalnin’s Controversial Past
In the image above on the left is of Leedskalnin
before leaving Latvia
in 1910 (27).
“18-year-old Edvards said to always walking with rifle
behind his coats” (27).
”When questioned about how he moved the blocks of
coral, Ed would only reply that he understood the laws of weight and leverage
well” (11).
After examining the site, film, pictures and the
hearsay evidence there is only one of two possibilities. Either Leedskalnin was
a really good con artist and told stories about how he built Coral Castle,
along with several eyewitnesses, or he really had hidden secrets about his
building methods. It is said he had a very shady past in Latvia before illegally residing in the US (27). A
Latvian article about Leedskalnin claims he was an atheist and a revolutionist
with a background which involved criminal activities. There were no signs that
he lived this lifestyle while in America. The article mentions
Leedskalnin was seeing a woman in Latvia but there wasn’t any
evidence of Agnes Scuffs leaving him on his wedding day as claimed. Is it
possible he left Latvia
to start a new life and used the “sweet sixteen” story to keep his shady past
behind? If this were true it seems he would try to stay out of trouble or keep
the negative attention away for these reasons alone. When people came to Coral Castle
for a private tour he would charge 25¢ (35). In good faith he left it to the
person to deposit the money before ringing the bell alerting their presence. He
was considered a loner and didn’t live a material life it doesn’t seem he would
tell stories for the sake of attention or profits. As he lived in Florida his character
did not fit the profile of a criminal minded person. He was considered a very
hard working and polite individual who never swore or lost his temper (16).
Before he found his way to Florida Leedskalnin
searched throughout America
for what he called the right land (23). It seems he spent the majority of his
time experimenting with magnets, electricity, radio signals and paying close
attention to the position of the planets and stars. It was said he was very
heartbroken over the breakup of what he called his sweet sixteen and this was
his drive for building Coral
Castle. Even though he
didn’t really talk about his sweet sixteen after he moved Coral Castle
to its present day location he remained a single man until his death. A few
years after he died a box of his personal belongings were found (27). Within
the box contained some of his belongings and thirty-five hundred dollars in
cash. This money was made from selling pamphlets and the admission he charged
for tours along with land which was sold and later used for US Highway 1. Judging
by the information, as he resided in Florida
he was an honest hard working person who was very curious about nature’s
mysterious forces and he left plenty of clues to prove he experimented in these
fields. The evidence seems to indicate he knew something he wasn’t ready to
share with the world.
Coral Castle Facts
Limestone Blocks
Many think the blocks of Coral Castle
are made from coral but in actuality they are made from oolite limestone (9).
This image is taken from http://sofia.usgs.gov/publications/maps/florida_geology/#sections.
The Nine-Ton Gate
While in Florida
City around 1923 Leedskalnin named his
creation Rock Gate Park
after a nine-ton gate he constructed (3). It was made from a block of limestone
perfectly balanced so it can be pushed open with ease (9). In July of 1986 it
was removed after suddenly failing to operate. The engineers from the University of Florida discovered a hole had been
drilled down the center of the block (3). A metal shaft was inserted through
the hole and rested on a truck bearing. In order to do this repair it required
an 18-20 ton crane to lift the gate off the original truck bearing which had
rusted causing the failure (2). In a short documentary by Joe Bullard (20),
researcher and writer of Waiting for Agnes he mentions, after lifting
the nine-ton gate they removed a small pie shaped piece of stone which was
mounted to the bottom (21). After the repair the gate didn’t perform as it did
when Leedskalnin originally set it in place many decades earlier. In 2005 the
1986 repair failed and the gate had to be repaired once again (3). Even today,
after the second repair, the gate does not rotate with the ease it originally
did.
When the gate was created by Leedskalnin there wasn’t
the use of a crane or the help from a crew of workers. For this fact alone, it
seems obvious, when he made the claim he knew how the pyramids in Egypt were
built he must’ve had some idea of their forgotten ancient knowledge. Keep in
mind, nine tons is equivalent to about three average size automobiles. The gate
isn’t the largest of the numerous blocks on site. He somehow single-handedly
cut and moved a thirty ton block of limestone.
The Quarry
Coral Castle has numerous large
blocks weighing in the tons. Most were quarried on site while some were moved
from the first location. There is a total of eleven hundred tons of blocks
quarried and moved into position by Leedskalnin alone (8). The building he
resided in is two stories in height which is built from large blocks weighing
in the tons. The guide at Coral Castle Ray Ramirez informed me Leedskalnin was
in the process of surrounding the entire site with a wall constructed of blocks
but did not complete the task before his death in 1951 (29). In my opinion,
it’s amazing how he single-handedly cut and removed each block then managed to
transport them into place without the help of any modern day machinery. Some
blocks where hoisted two stories and set into place with perfect accuracy (24).
When examining the quarry and the blocks there are no signs of chisel marks and
in some places the cuts appear very smooth (2). The marks on the blocks were said
to be from wedges, but Ramirez informed me Leedskalnin used leaf springs like
the ones used for shelves in his living quarters. He said they were pounded
into the ground with a sledge hammer to separate the blocks. This method may
have been used to separate the blocks but the marks were not present at the
bottom of the quarry.
The Magnetic Wheel
On the ground level of the building where Leedskalnin
resided, sometimes called “the tower”, he constructed a room to house his
tools. Within this room there is a mysterious flywheel which is constructed of
concrete and magnets with a clover-leaf shape at the center (25). When holding
a compass next to the wheel as it rotates the compass also spins indicating
each u-shaped magnet was set opposite in polarity. Next to the wheel there is a
metal pole which enters the ground. In the only known picture of Leedskalnin
using the wheel it seems he wrapped chains and connected objects to this metal
pole as though it had some significant use. The white arrows in the pictures
above (bottom left and top right) indicate the location of the pole.
Electricity and Electrical Components
Among the various gears, pulleys, chains and other
equipment used for hoisting the blocks there was a great amount of electrical
components displayed in Leedskalnin’s tool room (26). There were glass bottles
with wire wrapped around them, rolls of wire and several other components.
There is no doubt electricity was one of his main fascinations, could this be a
clue to part of his secret?
Leedskalnin also used a crystal radio he assembled. It
was said the radio was interfering with the signals of a nearby Air Force Base
(22). Agents were sent to see him about the radio signals and were impressed by
the antenna he had set up. Leedskalnin said he was using the antenna so he
could listen to free music and news with the use of his crystal radio (27). Was
he using this radio for listening entertainment or was there more to it? Chris
Dunn believes radio signals were used to vibrate the coral at resonant
frequency while using an electromagnetic field to flip the polarity of the
atoms so they would repel the Earth’s magnetic field (13).
The Telescope
There are many clues in the layout of Coral Castle
itself which indicate there must have been a celestial importance. The position
of the Earth within the solar system almost seemed essential to Leedskalnin
(28). The Polaris telescope, which is said to be twenty-five feet in height and
weighing twenty tons, can be used to determine the location of the Earth in its
orbit according to the position of the Polaris star within crosshairs. In order
to observe Polaris you would have to peer through a hole which is drilled
through a block at about eye level. When looking through the hole it aligns
with a larger hole at the top of a twenty-five foot block of limestone. The
amount of the effort put into this elaborate device should indicate its
importance.
The Sundial
Not only did Leedskalnin create a telescope he also
constructed a very unique and accurate sundial. It can be used to tell the time
of day within a few minutes. There are what appear to be two metal bars
embedded or concreted in the stone casting a shadow on a looped pattern below.
When the shadow of the marker crosses the pattern the time of day can be
observed depending on the markers location. The loops are numbered to tell the
time on the hour and the numberless loops in-between are for the half hour
(30). Not only does the sundial tell the time of day it can also be used to
determine the seasons. When the marker moves across the bottom of the pattern
the Suns position is at the summer solstice and at the top it’s the winter
solstice as seen in the image above (note the bottom right image above was
taken on November 10th 2005).
The Moon Pond
The Moon pond, or also known as the Moon fountain, was
one of Leedskalnin’s creations which is said to be connected to the cycles of
the Moon. It’s believed the three blocks used to construct the pond weigh
eighteen tons each. With the two crescent-shaped Moons and the full circle
in-between, being the pond itself, this is said to describe the cycles of the
Moon. Notice the wave pattern which surrounds the six-pointed star at the
center of the pond. Could this be his way of describing the Moons orbit around
the Earth? With the Moon being connected to the Earth’s tides could the pond
have been used in any way to track the cycles of the tides (8)?
The Thirty-Ton Block
Alone Leedskalnin set a thirty-ton block of coral
limestone then topped it off with a large block placed on two smaller blocks
with a stone gable on the very top. Keep in mind, thirty tons is around the
same weight as ten average size vehicles. He called the thirty-ton block his
“King Stone” and refereed to the gable as the “Kings Crown” (21). He
single-handedly quarried, moved and set these blocks in place without any signs
of heavy equipment. In my opinion, this feat has not been demonstrated by
anyone to this day.
Eye-Witness Accounts
It seems this would be beneficial information for any
building contractor who is looking for easier and quicker means of transporting
huge amounts of weight without any heavy machinery and the use of only one
employee. This is one of the reasons I believe there is still an unsolved
mystery on our hands. There are statements from witnesses such as a truck
driver Leedskalnin had hired to move his blocks from the first site to the
present day location. There is also a legend of how children were spying on
Leedskalnin and witnessed him floating blocks like “hydrogen balloons” (2).
These sightings may not be taken seriously because children told the stories
but there were other accounts which were explained by adults.
This is a quote from the website http://www.southfloridaonline.com/article_coral_castle.htm
– “There are a couple of credible accounts of adults witnessing strange
occurrences as Ed worked. The man whom Ed hired to move the stones with his
truck stated that he had forgotten his lunch box one morning and went back to
the castle to get it. He had only been gone for a half-hour and when he arrived
Ed already had several of the monolithic stones stacked on the rails of the
trailer like cordwood. He never saw how Ed loaded them; just that Ed had
absolutely no heavy machinery that should have been necessary to manipulate
such heavy stones; especially that fast” (2).
Witnesses have said if they were to approach
Leedskalnin while he was working he had a way of knowing when they were close
by (21). Some believe a person’s body may have interfered with a possible
energy source that was in use. Whatever the reason, it was very hard for anyone
to witness how these feats were accomplished (23). Leedskalnin guarded most of
his secrets until his death but left clues behind in the form of a few books
and articles. If you were to try connecting his writings to the building methods
of Coral Castle the book entitled Magnetic
Current seems to be the most significant (1).
Leedskalnin’s Short Film
A 1930’s short film shows Leedskalnin lifting small
blocks from the quarry using a tripod with chains and pulleys (19). It shows
him move the block using logs and a chain with a crank ratchet. This film
doesn’t explain how he stacked the blocks over two stories in height or the
quarrying and movement of the thirty-ton block. Despite the film showing
Leedskalnin working around crowds of people this was not the case by what is
said from those close to him. It has been reported in many instances
Leedskalnin was considered a private man and did most of his work late at night
without any assistance. Also to take into consideration the countless hours he
spent creating the magnetic wheel and investigating magnetism, electricity and
radio waves. There must have been a really good reason for him to invest so
much time into these subjects.
“A chain link capable of withstanding the strain of 30
tons, would exceed 1 inch in thickness” (32). – Chris Dunn
When it comes to the building process the only
physical evidence it seems left behind are a short film, his books, the tool
room and the equipment left on site after Leedskalnin’s death. He wouldn’t
allow anyone in his living quarters for reasons unknown (8). Could there be
something over-looked or possibly removed after his death? When visiting his living
quarters I noticed the windows were in alignment with a compass. There was also
a wire running through the ceiling attached to the rafters. It ran back and
forth from the front of the room to the back and all the way across. Ramirez
informed me it was for his radio to pick up a signal in his room but no one
knows for sure. When investigating any scene sometimes the small clues deserve
the most recognition.
Observations at Coral Castle
Please keep in mind these are speculative ideas and
have never been tested (33). When visiting Coral Castle,
back in 2005, I was in search for certain clues of an idea I once had. Knowing
Leedskalnin investigated the effects of magnetism and electricity I was on the
lookout for certain items connected to this idea which involved electricity.
While studying simple circuits and the function of a water battery the idea
arose. I often heard about waterways perfectly cut underground at Giza and it is said Angkor Wat in Cambodia is
supported by a foundation of subterranean water (17, 18). Taking these accounts
into consideration I started to research the idea of running a low voltage
electrical current from one metal rod to another using the underground water
systems as a conductor. Could this alter the Earth’s magnetic field in the area
above the electrified groundwater? Chris Dunn’s idea of using radio signals
directed at the location may be part of the process causing the blocks to
become lighter (13). If the radio wavelengths were the same size as the object
within the weakened magnetic field and reflected off the ground at a very high
frequency, could these reflecting radio waves change the weight of the object?
The tripods used to pull the blocks from the quarry had a mysterious box on the
top which no one has yet to explain its function. As Dunn mentioned, could this
box have housed a radio transmitter like the one Leedskalnin constructed out of
crystals? When using the electromagnetic spectrum as a reference the
wavelengths of radio waves range from the size of a person to about the size of
a mountain (31). Could this be why he used radio wavelengths to match the
wavelength with the size of the blocks? Scientists use sound waves which travel
through air molecules to levitate different materials in a lab, could it be
possible to use waves from the electromagnetic spectrum to do the same?
An ad from The Miami Daily – by Ed Leedskalnin “The
radio waves are made by the North and South pole magnets. They spread around
the Earth, and the North and South Pole. Magnets that are coming down from the
sun are hitting the radio waves across, and so disturbing their paths. That is
the reason why we cannot hear the radio as well in the day time as we do at
night. At night time we only get those magnets that are coming down from other
suns or stars, but in the day time we get them all” (12).
The Well
Leedskalnin dug out a well with a stairway next to it
which leads to the groundwater below. When searching for land it was said he
would ride his bike around the area without any tires so the metal rims would
have contact to the ground (15). It seems odd he would ride his bike in this
way unless maybe there was a scientific purpose for it. It was rumored this was
how he eventually found the site in Florida
City where he started
extracting blocks from the bedrock. Because of the lack of topsoil it was said
he had picked the worse land for plowing in the state as described by real
estate agent Ruben L. Moser (Mauser) (23). Bullard explained, after
Leedskalnin had found his land he used a “witching rod” to seek out the
underground water system and mapped the area where the water ran.
It was rumored Leedskalnin did the majority of his
work by the full Moon. While researching the Moon and its effects on the tides
I found that the same forces creating the tides in the oceans have an effect on
the underground water systems as well. After reading an article on gardening
and the advantages in planting during a full Moon the explanation of how
groundwater is pulled up through the ground during the full Moon made me wonder
if this was the reason he worked by the full Moon (4). Could the stairway by
the well be used for checking underground water levels or possibly electrical
currents within the water? Maybe the gravitational pull of the Moon has a
different effect on the underground water while it’s electrified. The only way
to know this information would be to experiment on site over a period of time.
Iron Soles
Leedskalnin wore iron soles on the bottom of his
shoes. Joe Bullard received an email from a Sharon Bullard (no relation) who
claims her father-in-law was one of the children who witnessed the blocks
floating (14). She made the assumption the iron soles were to keep Leedskalnin
from floating away while he levitated the blocks. Could they have something to
do with him grounding himself to prevent electrical shock? Could this be how he
knew someone was approaching because their shoes were absent of metal soles?
Possible use of Hydrogen
Upon additional research, in the area of running an
electrical current through water, it is a known fact this method coverts water
into hydrogen. Because the bedrock of the area being described like Swiss
cheese may allow the light gas to pass through in small quantities, could the
build-up of hydrogen under the surface effect the weight of the blocks (4, 10)?
Because hydrogen is very flammable the source of electricity, the magnetic
wheel, should be used away from the area. Could this be why it was stored within
the tool room to prevent a possible explosion? Maybe this method of changing
water into hydrogen could have been used in combination of a weaker magnetic
field with the use of radio signals as already explained. The only way to know
if this is possible would be to experiment on the Coral Castle
site because of its right conditions.
A Possible Scientific Conclusion
Judging from his writings, Leedskalnin certainly had a
different way of looking at nature and science. Maybe this is how he was able
to accomplish these amazing feats by practicing different ideas.
When researching the clues in the form of observations
and hearsay I came to a few possible conclusions. Leedskalnin claimed to know
the secrets of the pyramids in Egypt
which remained a secret until his death (1). Maybe he knew something but was
hesitant to tell anyone out of fear this technology would be used for the wrong
purposes. Another possibility, if hydrogen was used he may have considered the
danger a highly flammable gas could pose if an explosion were to occur
underground. If this type of technology was used in the ancient world, could
this explain the legends of entire cities which collapsed into the sea? Is it
possible for a pocket of underground hydrogen to explode causing the ground to
collapse into the water below? If this hypothesis were true one must keep in
mind the possibilities and potential danger if used the wrong way. In order to
investigate this idea one must proceed with proper care, in an excluded
location and with the right preparation. The dangers must be taken into
consideration when attempting an experiment of this scale.
Was Leedskalnin’s magnetic wheel linked to his
secrets? Next to the wheel there’s a pole which runs into the ground (seen in
the images of the wheel above). It appears he was rotating the wheel to create
an electrical current from the u-shaped magnets which were mounted in concrete.
Could an electrical current be running through the pole and into the
groundwater underneath? I also noticed a solid metal rod which appeared to be
pounded in the ground next to the quarry. Could this have been connected to a
wire coming from the wheel to complete a circuit through the water below? If
this is the case maybe this was his way of manipulating gravity or a possible
buildup of hydrogen (5). Leedskalnin described the Earth as a magnet this quote
is from the book Magnetic Current, “The earth itself is a great big
magnet” (1). Maybe he figured out a way to weaken the Earth’s magnetic field
which could possibly change the force of gravity or the weight of an object on
the surface.
Here is another possibility; could the electricity
running through the water create a complete circuit which can rotate the wheel
automatically? If this scenario is possible then maybe it was used as a source
of electrical power.
Once the weight of the block has been modified the
next step would be to lift it from the quarry. Leedskalnin was photographed and
filmed using tripods made from telephone poles with a mysterious box mounted to
the top. Could this have been a radio transmitter as mentioned before? Maybe it
was used to send a radio signal in the proper wavelength and frequency towards
the ground causing a repulsive action of high frequency radio waves. Could this
weakening of the magnetic field cause the repulsive action to affect the weight
of an object in any way? Maybe the radio waves could affect the polarity of the
atoms within the block as Dunn mentioned.
The thirty-ton block contains a hole at the center of
its face. There must have been a purpose for this hole considering the effort
it would take to drill it. Maybe it was bored into the ground before the block
was quarried. A metal pole could have been inserted in the ground with a wire
being fed down to the water below or possibly a solid metal rod like the one
next to the quarry today. With the pole being located at the center of the
block if hydrogen was produced or a weakened magnetic field this would occur
directly under the pole or rod. Could this have been how Leedskalnin lightened
the thirty-ton block enough to maneuver it? Maybe the hole was at a perfect
balancing point of the block and was drilled for lifting purposes only. Could
he have used it to feed a chain through lifting the block with a larger tripod
or possibly two tripods?
In the images of the thirty-ton block notice the
symbol carved into the side of the block which replicates the one on the front
metal door. This symbol is thought to represent the summer and winter solstice
with the Sun in the center and the Earth at the top and bottom. “21 Earth”
written next the circle is an indication of Earth on the 21st which
is the date for the summer or winter solstice. Could these days be important
for moving the larger stones such as the thirty-ton block?
With other clues left behind it seems apparent the
position of the Moon, Sun and planets could have played a role in his building
methods as well. Using the telescope and sundial he could easily find the location
of the Earth within the solar system at any time. This must have been
significant and should be taken into consideration. I also read he made the
claim the planets and stars were involved with the building methods of the
Egyptians. Actual witnesses claim Leedskalnin said the stars and the Moon where
involved (23). Whether or not it is true no one can say for certain but its
small clues like this which deserve attention.
This is only speculation which may not yield any
results but hopefully these ideas will help solve some if not all of the
mystery. To try this experiment on the Coral Castle
site would be ideal but it seems it can be performed in other locations as
well. Even though my present area has a perfect underground water system, with
high iron content, the land to try such a thing is not available. Experiments
on a smaller scale may not yield the same results so the need for a location
far from human contact is for the obvious reason of safety. An experiment like
this should be performed with extreme caution and preparation should be
examined vigorously. Persons of hands-on experience and advanced knowledge in
the subject of electricity should be present. I will not take personal
responsibility for those not prepared properly which may result in bodily harm
or death. As many other experiments performed in mankind’s past there is a
danger involved which should not be taken lightly. Thank you for reading.
