How Was Florida's Coral Castle Built without Modern Machinery? | Ancient Aliens
Did Latvian American eccentric Edward Leedskalnin the builder of Florida's Coral Castle master magnetic forces to move massive rocks without the aid of modern machinery? Each stone weighed in tonnes could never have been moved by a make shift tripod and some chains, not to mention by one single person.

Coral Castle Homestead Florida
This is a short 4 and a half minute long photo slideshow of my trip to Coral Castle in Homestead Florida. This is a truly amazing place that one little little man had built all by himself with no help from anyone. I was lucky enough to experience this place all by myself because it was storming outside and no one wanted to be outside. I truly got the impression that the person Ed that built this place had to be a reincarnated offworld entity and this place is a monument to his knowledge of antigravity technology. His tools make this very evident as showcased in the pictures. Bravo Ed!

Secrets of Coral Castle solved!
Eds Coral Castle Quarry and Flywheel, Engineering Mystery Solved.
Ed is a personal hero of mine and someone I highly admire.
He is someone whose name deserves to be remembered and I hope you guys enjoy the upload!
I share under fair use and for educational purposes.
Coral Castle is an oolite limestone structure created by the Latvian American eccentric Edward Leedskalnin. It is located in unincorporated territory of Miami-Dade County, Florida, between the cities of Homestead and Leisure City. The structure comprises numerous megalithic stones, mostly limestone formed from coral, each weighing several tons.
From Wikipedia
Edward spent more than 28 years building Coral Castle, refusing to allow anyone to view him while he worked. A few teenagers claimed to have witnessed his work, reporting that he had caused the blocks of coral to move like hydrogen balloons. The only tool that Leedskalnin spoke of using was a perpetual motion holder.
Leedskalnin originally built a castle, which he named Ed's Place, in Florida City, Florida, around 1923. He purchased the land from Ruben Moser whose wife had assisted him when he had a very bad bout with tuberculosis.[5][6] Florida City, which borders the Everglades, is the southernmost city in the United States that is not on an island. It was an extremely remote location with very little development at the time. The castle remained in Florida City until about 1936 when Leedskalnin decided to move and take the castle with him. Its second and final location has the mailing address of 28655 South Dixie Highway, Miami, FL 33033, which now appears within the census-generated overlay of Leisure City but which is actually unincorporated county territory. He reportedly chose relocation as a means to protect his privacy when discussion about developing land in the original area of the castle started.[7] He spent three years moving the component structures of Coral Castle 10 miles (16 km) north from Florida City to its current location outside Homestead, Florida.

9 Ton Gate - Megalithic Miracle at Coral Castle, Florida

We are at coral castle in Florida, and let’s take a look at the most mysterious structure in this castle – called the 9 ton gate. This 8 foot tall revolving gate has not only baffled common people but has also challenged modern day engineers. By the end of this video, I hope you will agree with me that this gate could not have been built by a single man unless he knew some kind of a secret ancient technology.
The nine ton gate no longer works, but here is a smaller 3 ton gate which still works. Edward Leedskalnin considered the 9 ton gate as a master piece and named this place after this gate, so the original name of Coral castle was Rock Gate Park. Ironically the door did not get much attention from experts before it stopped working in 1986. So the owner initially calls a local construction crew and they take a good look at this gate and tell him that they have no idea how to fix it. Now, the owner decides to call the quote on quote “educated engineers” and calls the University of Florida. They send in a team of 6 engineers and they arrive with plenty of modern equipment including a 20 ton crane. Now, keep in mind Ed did not use any modern equipment and built this door without anyone’s help.
When the engineers took the door down, they saw that Ed had not only modified simple car parts like axle shaft and ball bearings of a 1918 ford truck, but had also used a strange circular stone at the bottom. The engineers couldn't understand how this Frisbee sized rock could withstand 9 tons of weight. So, they sent it to the geology department in the University of Florida. Guess what happened? A month later, the expert geologists simply returned the rock to coral castle and told the owner “hey, We have compared this rock with almost all other types of rocks on this planet, and we have even compared it with meteorites, but we cannot determine the origin of this rock. “So, where did this rock come from? How did a man with a fourth grade education who rode nothing more than a bike, get a hold of this rock?
Anyways, the engineers put the gate back with new shaft and new bearings, but removed the rock because they were the experts and they could do better than the uneducated Ed Leedskalnin. You know what happened? It got stuck, and did not move. Believe it or not they had to shave the rock down, to make it work. This just proves that 6 experts with all their modern techniques could not duplicate what Ed had done single-handedly without modern equipment or techniques.
Now the original door which lasted from 1936 to 1986 could be moved by an 8 year old girl with one finger. After 1986, it was not that easy, but a grown man could move the door with one hand. But it only lasted until 2004 and then it ceased. At that time, 3 different teams of engineers looked at it and basically said “Leave it alone, it could crack open like an egg”. Because this rock is made of honeycomb coral, which is very brittle and it will break if you give a strong tap with a hammer. How could Ed quarry and cut this huge stone without breaking it? And how could Ed drill a hole exactly through the center of balance even though this rock is not a perfect rectangle?
Now, he claimed that he could build Coral Castle because he knew the secret behind the construction of the great pyramid. Strabo, a Greek geographer found a similar revolving door in the pyramid of Giza. He has documented that in 24 B.C while exploring the Pyramid, he stumbled on a large rectangular door made of rock. He mentions that this door leads to a long, narrow passage and when the door is shut, it is so perfect that it seems like any other rock in the Pyramid. Today, experts are still searching for this door. This raises the question if Ed really knew the secret behind the Pyramid of Giza? Is that why he was able to build a similar door in Coral castle?
Finally, there are many people who claim that Ed was simply a con man and a pseudoscientist. Here we have a pseudoscientist who could quarry, cut and put in place a 9 ton door without anyone’s help or modern technology. And we have the real scientists who come in as a team and with all their modern equipment and scientific calculations cannot duplicate what a pseudoscientist created. So you tell me, who the real scientist is and who should be labeled as pseudoscientists?

A look at Coral Castle
From the Wikipedia article:
Coral Castle is a stone structure created by the Latvian American eccentric Edward Leedskalnin north of the city of Homestead, Florida in Miami-Dade County at the intersection of U.S. 1 (South Dixie Highway) and Southwest 157th Ave. The structure comprises numerous megalithic stones (mostly limestone formed from coral), each weighing several tons. It currently serves as a privately-operated tourist attraction.
According to the Coral Castle's own promotional material, Edward Leedskalnin was jilted by his 16-year-old fiancée Agnes Scuffs in Latvia, just one day before the wedding. Leaving for America, he came down with allegedly terminal tuberculosis, but spontaneously healed, stating that magnets had some effect on his disease.
Edward spent over 28 years building the Coral Castle, refusing to allow anyone to view him while he worked. A few teenagers claimed to have witnessed his work, reporting that he had caused the blocks of coral to move like hydrogen balloons. The only tool that Leedskalnin spoke of using was a perpetual motion holder.
Leedskalnin originally built the castle, which he named Rock Gate Park, in Florida City, Florida around 1923. He purchased the land from Ruben Moser whose wife helped assist him when he had a very bad bout with tuberculosis.[3] Florida City, which borders the Everglades, is the southernmost city in the United States that is not on an island. It was an extremely remote location with very little development at the time. The castle remained in Florida City until about 1936 when Leedskalnin decided to move and take the castle with him. The Coral Castle website states that he chose to move in order to protect his privacy when discussion about developing land in the area of the castle started.[4] The second commonly held notion was that he wanted to relocate to a more populous locale after being badly beaten one night by hooligans looking to rob him.[5] He spent three years moving the Coral Castle structures 10 miles (16 km) north from Florida City to its current location in Homestead, Florida.
Leedskalnin continued to work on the castle up until his death in 1951. The coral pieces that are part of the newer castle, not among those transported from the original location, were quarried on the property only a few feet away from the southern wall.
Leedskalnin charged visitors ten cents a head to tour the castle grounds. There are signs carved into rocks at the front gate to Ring Bell Twice and a second sign just inside the property that says Adm. 10c Drop Below. He would come down from his living quarters in the second story of the castle tower close to the gate and conduct the tour. Leedskalnin never told anyone that asked him how he made the castle. He would simply answer It's not difficult if you know how.

Leedskalnin named his new place Rock Gate after the huge rear swinging gate he built into the back wall. He continued to work on the castle up until his death in 1951. The coral pieces that are part of the newer castle, not among those transported from the original location, were quarried on the property only a few feet away from the castle's walls. The pool and the pit beside the southern wall are quarries. The east and west quarries have been filled in.
At Florida City, Leedskalnin charged visitors ten cents apiece to tour the castle grounds, but after moving to Homestead, he asked for donations of twenty five cents, but let visitors enter free if they had no money. There are signs carved into rocks at the front gate to Ring Bell Twice. He would come down from his living quarters in the second story of the castle tower close to the gate and conduct the tour. Leedskalnin never told anyone who asked him how he made the castle. He would simply answer It's not difficult if you know how.
When asked why he had built the castle, Leedskalnin would vaguely answer it was for his Sweet Sixteen. This is widely believed to be a reference to Agnes Skuvst (often misspelled as Scuffs). In Leedskalnin's own publication A Book in Every Home, he implies his Sweet Sixteen was more an ideal than a reality. According to a Latvian account, the girl existed, but her name was actually Hermīne Lūsis.
When Leedskalnin became ill in November 1951, he put a sign on the door of the front gate Going to the Hospital and took the bus to Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami. Leedskalnin suffered a stroke at one point, either before he left for the hospital or at the hospital. He died twenty-eight days later of Pyelonephritis (a kidney infection) at the age of 64. His death certificate noted that his death was a result of uremia; failure of kidneys, as a result of the infection and abscess.
While the property was being investigated, $3,500 was found among Leedskalnin's personal belongings. Leedskalnin had made his income from conducting tours, selling pamphlets about various subjects (including magnetic currents) and the sale of a portion of his 10-acre (4.0 ha) property for the construction of U.S. Route 1. As Leedskalnin had no will, the castle became the property of his closest living relative in America, a nephew from Michigan named Harry.

Secrets of Famous Places (Coral Castle)
Secrets of Famous Places: CORAL CASTLE. Nobody saw the construction of Coral Castle, which is built from blocks of sedimentary limestone weighing many tons. Raised single-handedly by Edward Leedskalnin, a short and skinny man, he refused to allow anyone to observe his methods of moving stone. He often worked at night, by the light of a lantern. Edward's apparent ability to levitate massive columns of rock, has baffled scientists for years.
PATREON
Journalist and author Joe Bullard has always been fascinated by the mystery of Coral Castle. Bullard writes that Edward Leedskalnin was born in Latvia, and as a boy he was sickly and weak. In the fourth grade, he dropped out of school because he was not strong enough to walk there every day. He fell in love with a girl of 16, as a young man at the age of 26. Her name was Agnes, and together they made plans to marry. However the day before the wedding, Agnes changed her mind, breaking off the engagement.
To escape the pain of this relationship, Edward fled to Canada, where he found work in a lumber mill. For five years he culled massive trees from the Canadian Forest. Then he contracted tuberculosis, becoming too weak to hold down his job. He carved a walking stick and began to walk south, crossing the border into the United States, and he did not stop until he came to the state of Florida.
The doctor told him he only had six months to live. This is when he began planning the construction of his fortress. The year was 1918. Anybody who contracted TB, was sure to dye from it in very short order. Leedskalnin beat the odds. In 1919, his doctor diagnosed him as cured. He went on to work on his castle at night, between midnight and six in the morning, with no one to help him, and without the aid of heavy machinery. The stones he moved had an average weight of 6 tons... twice the weight, of the 3 ton stones of the great pyramid.
One moonless evening, the castle was approached by a couple of teenagers, crawling low, like a pair of alligators. They claimed to have witnessed a huge column of rock, 20 feet in length, which floated up into the air, over the wall, and into the fortress.... They said it moved like a hydrogen balloon. In daytime, the grounds inside were open to the public. Edward would charge visitors an entrance fee of ten cents. The blocks were joined without mortar, depending only on their weight to keep them in place. Other oddities included a two story tower, a royal throne, a gargantuan sundial, a free-standing obelisk, and rocking chairs made out of rock.
Leedskalnin labored for 18 years in Florida City, on the walls of his citadel and the various monuments within. Because he so treasured privacy for his work, when he learned that nearby land was about to be developed for suburban housing, he decided to move about ten miles away, to the Township of Homestead. He also decided to bring his castle with him. He contracted with the driver of a flatbed truck, which was normally used for the transport of great cypress trees. Over the course of a year, one stone at a time, the castle was moved to Edward's new address.
Edward would direct the truck driver to back up his vehicle, to one of the enormous coral blocks. Then he would ask the man to leave, for a period of four hours. One day, the driver thought he might catch Edward in the act of moving a stone, so instead of waiting hours, he returned after only 15 minutes. Leedskalnin was nowhere to be found, but he did find the coral block. It was already loaded on the back of the truck.
Some believe Edward Leedskalnin relied on forces of magnetism to aid his labors, magnetism which could also be utilized to heal. He was known to suggest to sickly children, to take a seat upon the chair in the throne room. Joe Bullard interviewed an 82-year-old woman, who confided she had been one of those children. She was sick with epilepsy. But ever since the day she sat upon the coral throne, she never had another problem with her health.

Florida Trip 2016 - Coral Castle, Southernmost Point
During the Christmas Break, Rachael and her family went to Florida, USA. In this video, Rachael showed you Coral Castle and Southernmost Point. This video was day two of her trip. Rachael will be showing you guys a few days of her trip but not everyday.
About Coral Castle:
Edward Leedskalnin was born in Riga, Latvia on August 10th, 1887. When Ed was 26 years old, he became engaged to marry his one true love, Agnes Scuffs. Agnes was ten years younger than Ed and he referred Agnes as his “Sweet Sixteen.” Agnes canceled the wedding just one day before the ceremony because she thought Ed was too old for her. Heartbroken and deeply saddened by this tragic loss, Ed set out on a lifelong quest to create a monument to his lost love that has become one of the world’s most remarkable accomplishments, originally called Rock Gate Park but now known as the Coral Castle. Ed single-handedly built the Coral Castle, carving and sculpting over 1,100 tons of coral rock as a testimony to his lost love, Agnes. What makes Ed’s work remarkable is the fact that he was just over 5 feet tall and weighed only 100 pounds. In this part of Florida, the coral in some areas can be up to 4,000 feet thick. He cut and moved huge coral blocks using only hand tools. He drew on this knowledge and strength to cut and move these blocks. Ed moved to Florida in 1918 and lived in Florida City until about 1936. Ed was a very private person and when he heard about a planned subdivision being built near him he decided to move to Homestead and in 1936 bought 10 acres of land. Ed spent the next three years moving the Coral Castle structures he had already begun to build from Florida City to Homestead, a distance of 10 miles. Many people saw the coral carvings being moved along the Dixie Highway, but no one actually ever saw Ed loading or unloading the trailer. Ed did much of his work at night by lantern light and to help protect his privacy. In December of 1951 Ed felt sick. He put a sign on the door of his Castle saying “going to the hospital,” took a bus to Jackson Memorial in Miami and died three days later in his sleep at the age of 64.
About Southernmost Point:
The most southern part of the United States is Key West. The Southernmost Point is a simple monument located at the southernmost tip of the continental U.S. and 90 miles north of Cuba.
