Скачать или смотреть Mystery of Coral Castle - Florida’s Real-Life Mystery Megalith

In Homestead, Florida, a small, sickly Latvian immigrant moved more than a thousand tons of stone… alone.

Welcome to *Coral Castle* – a strange oolite limestone complex built by *Edward Leedskalnin* between the 1920s and 1951. He carved and set in place more than 1,100 tons of coral rock into walls, tables, chairs, a crescent moon, a sundial and a working stone gate, in what many now call *“America’s Stonehenge.”*

According to Coral Castle’s own history, Ed’s obsession began in Latvia, when his 16-year-old fiancée *Agnes Skuvst* broke off their engagement the day before the wedding. Heartbroken, he emigrated to the United States, eventually settling near Miami. There, on a small plot of land, he started building a monument for his lost “Sweet Sixteen.”

Working mostly at night and refusing to let anyone see him, Ed quarried, carved and moved blocks weighing several tons using improvised tripods, chains, pulleys and winches made from junkyard parts. The site’s most famous feature was a *nine-ton gate* that could once be pushed open with a finger; when it jammed in 1986 and engineers lifted it out with a crane, they discovered a precisely drilled vertical shaft and a truck bearing hidden inside.

Ed claimed only that he understood the *“laws of weight and leverage”* and that he had “discovered the secrets of the pyramids.” He studied magnetism and electricity, wrote pamphlets on “magnetic currents,” and hinted that unseen energies held the world together. Over time, this fed legends that he’d discovered anti-gravity, secret frequencies or lost ancient knowledge.

Mainstream engineers and historians, however, point out that:

The rock is *oolite limestone* – porous and lighter than granite, though still heavy.
Photos and eyewitnesses show Ed using **tripods, pulleys and simple machines**, not levitation.

Even so, the scale and precision remain impressive for a single man with homemade tools.

Several books try to untangle the mystery, including *“Coral Castle: The Mystery of Ed Leedskalnin and His American Stonehenge”* by Rusty McClure and Jack Heffron, which takes a journalistic look at the site and surveys theories ranging from clever engineering to exotic energy ideas.

In this video, we explore:

Who Edward Leedskalnin was and why he built Coral Castle.
How the site was constructed, moved, and eventually opened as a tourist attraction.
The famous nine-ton gate and what its repair revealed.
Competing explanations: simple physics vs. anti-gravity, magnetism and “secrets of the pyramids.”
