The lost science of ancient pyramids was discovered by a modern man, Ed Leedskalnin, who single-handedly built a limestone castle for his beloved.
Today, Coral Castle sits 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 setting of the stone, and the size and weight of the stones that were used for create the castle. Leedskalnin claims that the library was the source of the “lost” construction methods that were 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 earlier and that he would have a restless spirit. Furthermore, he saw that he was once a resident of Atlantis as a sculptor and this life would amaze 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, her fiancé called off the wedding and didn’t tell her why. Heartbroken, Leedskalnin finally landed in Florida City, Florida and purchased an acre of land for $ 12. Here, he began building his dream home for his beloved, known today as Coral Castle.
Hand tools made in a junkyard
With just a shovel, a disembodied wheelbarrow, a small block, and rigging 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 only 100 pounds and 5 feet tall, I would just say that you knew the secrets to building the ancient pyramids and if you 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 found 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 cured himself of tuberculosis through a device called “Megatron,” which functioned as a battery charger for the body. He placed a magnet inside a wooden pyramid wrapped in copper wire. Every afternoon from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm, he would sunbathe on his back, wearing dark blue sunglasses and repeat the mantra that his grandfather shared about the essential elements of happiness: “Something to do, something to love and something to look forward to. ” According to Leedskalnin, he tapped into an energy source he called “Magneticity.” He thought that this was what electricity should be called, arguing that they are actually nothing more than magnets. He hoped to provide free, clean energy to the entire world. 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 for love, why did he design Coral Castle to be a polaris astronomical observatory, aligned with stars, with 1,100 tons of coral? fully furnished with a sundial, 25 one ton rocking chairs and a 9 ton swing 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. Therefore, the question is, will the secret of this lost science resurface in a future generation?
