The Coral Castle: Acoustic Levitation or Use of Magnetism to Build It? (http://socyberty.com/paranormal/the-coral-castle-acoustic-levitation-or-use-of-magnetism-to-build-it/) http://s3.amazonaws.com/triond/avatars/2009/02/14/138041_a.jpgby mitchey179 (http://www.triond.com/users/mitchey179) January 23, 2011
How was the coral castle built? Was it through the use of acoustic levitation or some kind of magnetism? How exactly did one man, Ed Leedskalnin build such a structure all by himself?
How did a man barely more than five feet tall and around one hundred pounds construct a home made out of megalithic stones weighing tons? This is one of the biggest mysteries surrounding the stone structure known as the Coral Castle in Homestead, Florida.

The Coral Castle was constructed between the years of 1923 to 1951 by a Latvian immigrant name Ed Leedskalnin. The reason for the construction of the building according to Ed was for his lover back home in Latvia. Unfortunately, Ed’s lover never made it over to America even though it took over 25 years to build the castle. The castle is made up of more than 1100 tons of stones forming the walls, furniture, carvings and flooring. The stones are fastened together without the use of mortar and they are held together only by their weight when stacked on top of one another. The stones are carved with such precision that no light passes through any gaps where stones are connecting.

Some of the more prominent features of the castle include a castle tower which was where Ed lived throughout the construction, an accurate sundial, a polaris telescope, a water well and fountain, stars and planet carvings and numerous pieces of furniture. Some of the furniture items include a heart shaped table, rocking chairs, a bathtub, and a royal throne. The vast majority of all of the items in the castle are carved from single pieces of stone that weigh on average between 15 and 30 tons. The largest stone used was over 25 feet and weighed approximately 30 tons. Perhaps the most famous item in the castle is the revolving gate which a child could open with just the push of a finger. The gate is carved so precise that it fits within an quarter of an inch of the walls on both sides.

So, how did Ed construct the castle? Nobody really knows for sure but one thing is certain and that is Ed went to great lengths to ensure he was not observed working. Ed did most of the work on the castle at night and built walls surrounding the castle to protect his privacy. There are numerous theories of how Ed built the castle. The use of magnetism or levitation through acoustics seem to be the most prevalent theories. A few teenagers claimed to have witnessed his work and said that he had caused the blocks of stone to move like balloons just my humming or singing to them. When asked how he built the castle, Ed claimed that he knew the secrets of magnetism in the rocks and that science was totally wrong. He also claimed to have found the secrets of how the pyramids were built.

After Ed’s death, numerous magnetic devices were discovered in the castle. Some of these were taken apart but none of them revealed any method of how they were used to build the castle. Several pictures of the tripods that Ed was supposed to have used include a box that is lying on top of the tripod. This box has never been located and many assume that the secret of Ed’s success in building the castle might be contained in it.

So, did Ed Leedskalnin discover how to levitate huge stones weighing tons? Was some form of magnetism or acoustic levitation used? Unfortunately, we may never know the exact answer to these questions as Ed took his secrets to his grave more than 60 years ago.
