Could be the most tragic love story ever, one man spending his whole life by duplicating the feat of the pyramid builders singlehandedly for his "sweet sixteen" who never came.. or was it the name of his mothership ;)
OK, this may seem crazy, so you may want to read past it. I am 41, and heard of this "Man moving rocks" as a child from my father, an electrician and brilliant in his own right. I have been researching not only this, but the Sumerian clay tablets that has the book of Genesis. And I am reluctant to say, but I now believe Ed may have very well been from another time and/or place. Alien? Not sure. But he did make this look like child's-play, and looked to the stars and waited. I wonder.
@unclearless Interesting. Makes as much sense as every other theory. And like those - also speculative. But perhaps . . . perhaps. Only person who knows is Ed. And he's not telling. But, unlike some of the other blokes who have commented, your hypothesis is as relevant (to me) as any other.
Great show, great topic! Ed was an interesting individual to say the least & the mystery of this amazing place will live on forever. I'm looking forward to my second visit here in a few weeks. I'm glad In Search Of did this show on the CC it's one of their best episodes for sure!
It's simple. Ed studied astral physics from ancient Egypt. The story of Coral Castle has nothing to do with a girl. Study the Great Pyramid and the Dandera Calendar and you will see Ed's version of them is Coral Castle. Ed was telling you the ancient Egyptian story of Satan being thrown in the bottomless by the return of the Sun of God in 3-21-2011.
I made sure when i was in Miami that I went to see Coral Castle Ed knew something we don't in one pic of his there's a metal box on top of the tripod he has it there for a reason it does have to do with magnets but don't ask me how it worked the FBI or SS took it and all of his work.
You haven't been paying attention? Watch Criss Angel the mindfreak at work! You can't be two places at once. Say go from the top floor of the Luxor and be on the ground just minutes later. That was done with cameras rolling from all angles no trick photography! He is a modern day ED Leeskalin to the next level. Oh sure it's an optical allusion,sure..I incourage you to read between the lines and take a good look at what's really taking place!
Cool to see Bruce Cathie so young. He is an expert...will be appreciated alot more once humanity is capable of grasping what he was onto with his Earth grid harmonics calculations :)
Earth gives off a magnetic sinewave. + and - Poles move against eachother over 9x a second, very powerful. His wheel is a massive capacitor that when discharged once each revolution will turn this sinewave into a bit of a pump z wave! That is monopolar. A monopole moves energy, and opposite this energy grounding out via distributor, moves positrons, which are also known as +ions, and are heavy, they cant move through matter but moved around it to squeeze/thrust the stone as they fell to earth.
wow more info then the other video hehe thats an old one to back that time they did not have that concience about hiding the truth so much .. so now some time they miss some info by purpose ..you see i did not know about the tresure map i heard a lots of thing about is work but not about him .. nice of you sharing those old video thanks mister
No 'simple' man could do what he did! Edward Leedskallnin was a complete genius. No one has been able to comprehend, neither can they duplicate the work of this man. RIP Edward Leedskallnin. You are the consummate artist and genius.
I do think magnetism is the key. It is an invisible force! Electricity creates magnetism and magnetism creates electricity. Somehow Ed found the secret to anti-gravity. Bravo Sir, I salute you!!! To top it off you left us all scratching our heads in wonder and amazement. You must be having a good old laugh right now, wherever you are!
The sweet sixteen is a code he left behind and it has to do with the sacred mathematics that is hidden in Coral Castle .Look for a video called:"The secret of the universe" !
Yeah, you said that in the previous vid. Got any proof? Or you just think it's funny to call some dead guy a child molester?
I think the man was obsessed over his Latvian girlfriend not marrying him, and spent his life building Rock Gate Park as a shrine to her. But a child molester? I think that's your own imagination. I wonder why you have child molestation on the brain? Guilty conscience maybe?
if no one can understand his works, someone should give them to stephen hawking, maybe he might.
and i wouldn't touch anything in his house, looked like something out of indiana jones - might activate a secret compartment or send you to your death. or find the treasure in another dimension!!!!
here is a theory: he wrapped coil around the blocks. maybe sent a current thru them. current somehow caused an antigravity effect, like two similar polarities between block and ground. by controlling amount of current, he can control the stregnth of polarity therfore the height of the blocks lifted. another polarized coil wraped object can be used to move the blocks horizontally.
sweet sixteen is an enigma. i think he used it metaphorically.
In other places I have read repeatedly that 'sweet sixteen' was a 16 year old he loved in Latvia when he was 26 years old. They were engaged, but she broke the engagement the night before their wedding telling him she had decided he was too old and too poor.
That is the most amazing story I have ever heard!!! It is like a love story with a facinating and creative journey. Building something that big with a mystery that no one can solve all for a true love. That is so rare.
Read his article over at Wikipedia. I think you'll find some of his quoted moral and political views rather disjointed.
By the way, true loves don't break off engagements. ..And if he truly loved the girl, that meant honoring her desire to break it off with him. His endless obsession with her was totally inappropriate, actually quite creepy and psychotic.
I'm curious to know just how many kids "his" sweet sixteen had with the man she loved and ended up marrying.
It would have been creepy and psychotic if he had been stalking her, sending her endless letters, calling her constently and endlessly but he didn't do any of that. He respected her wishes of ending their engagement and he kept his distances from her. I think his story is amazing.
@kewikle ,,,,,,You sound like one of those psycho bitches who tells a man that she loves him, says they are soul mates, screws him every other day for a month or so, and one day he shows up at her door and she freaks out at him, and is filing for a PFA.
Look up Histrionic, and Borderline Personality Disorder, It pretty much describes your kind
I don't think he was interested in any of that and besides if these secrects and mysterious were true and if it fell in the wrong hands, there would have been more disasters out in the world.
True but then the magic of this man's work would have died along with him, it is better to keep the mystery. In my opinion that is, it is better that way for me.
Apparently he applied for a patent, but it was at the brink of WW2 which led to the government trying to gain the tech for war (he wouldn't let it go before he had the patent)
Dunno what's true, but it's fascinating all the same.
Nikola Tesla's plans were stolen after he died. Ed Leedskalnin's castle was robbed after he died. Sad that their knowledge is not shared to benefit Human kind.
none of those who we call geniuses have made discoveries that we could call "unthinkable".. the problem is with the rest of us, who are sleepping inside our box.. we might find again the knowledge, but we surely lose the better timing.
Brings back many memories. This show reminds me of my younger years when I was into comic books, dungeons and dragons, drawing and watching the Incredible Hulk and That's Incredible!
even if he magnetized it how did he lift such a heavy block come on man u use a magnet to pick somethin up its gonna get weigh the same as the magnet plus the block witch would be HEAVY and where was the magnet
I just went here yesterday. I have will have a video of my daughter on here soon. It is really amazing. And, you get this kind of energized feeling as you walk among the sculptures. There is something very mystical going on there!!! Beautiful place. You must experience it for yourself!!!

This comment has received too many negative votesshow
hi fellas, to make this short..i know what his secret was and is. let me give you a clue, you've got to find out what the symbols are in his castle. Some say there's a treasure map BUT actually, it is not a treasure for money and gold. It is on WHAT he KNOWS.
How i found out? Now that's my secret.
Where i found out? I have discovered things on my end as well. And just like ED and TESLA, i won't give it to the world :)
Amazing no youtube/internet PC bedroom geniuses who always seem to know everything haven't come up with a theory for this or said it's fake or something. I may be losing faith in you...
The trick is in the muscles. when you're pressing out, you are exerting certain muscles and relaxing the others. Your arms can't go anywhere in the door, but once you step out and relax, your arms say "wait a minute" (the 60 seconds gets you used to those muscles flexed).
The same thing would be if you all put your hands on top of each other. the combined weight of your arms would make it close to the weight of your subject. So your arms are used to holding up that weight.
oh and if you're still not convinced search "one finger lifting" on youtube. i know that there's usually 4 ppl lifting one person with a finger each but they are doing without any practice.
now, imagine someone having a much greater control of that "trick" and using a hand instead of a finger...
p.s: i dint know about ed's research and was just trying to provide a more "mature" theorie to the internet, but magnets could be the solution too.
if we add factors to this, maybe we can come up with the right amount of weight he used to lift:
factor 1: if each finger can lift 200 pounds then with both his hands he could be able to lift over 2 tons.
factor 2: we where 10 years old when we did this and he was 40. although he was frail and skinny, muscular size does not have any influence on this. he could have at least been able to lift 4 tons
factor 3: he seemed to live a very spiritual life when he came to florida...
i said earlier that the pinky's limit was 200 pounds but the other fingers have much more strengh than this and he could weight around 8 to 9 tons or 9 to 10 tons with reduced lifting time.
as for how he cut the blocks, it could have been with a diamon-tipped tool.
we saw in the vid that the digging machine had diamond-tipped edge to cut.
they cut it within a day but ed took 6 years i think then it might have taken more than a day to cut it.
Shamanic healing centers, books, and programs are common New Age developments, growing in proportion to the complexity of the modern world and the longing for a simpler past. For some people, shamanism is a window to a glorious, if illusory, past, when humans lived in harmony with nature and with each other. Shamanism offers not only an alternative medicine, but an alternative reality.
It was very much so like that. All that drives this planet to advance in technology is to beat the others guys (countries). Theres very little support in expanding our minds as a race and tons of power struggling, wars, arguing, fighting, overpopulating, ego's, destroying beauty etc. etc. What makes you think we deserve to know this as a race?
I hate how people disgrace the human race. it is not our race. from history we can tell it is not who we are but the worlds rules and laws that surround us that create our "life" we try to carry out in lieu with those rules. we are not free minded any longer which is the crippling effect to our race. we are born with free mind and free spirits. our potential will never be held high with this restrictions on our choices of whats wrong or right. MONEy putting a price on things. wrong
So scientists that come up with new knowledge, chemists that come up with new medicine and archetects that come up with new methods of building should all keep it to themselves? Rediculous! Our culture and knowledge all come from our predecessors contributing to society.
You crack large blocks of stone without 'brute force' by drilling holes at intervals and wedging blocks of wood in the holes. You then wet the wood causing it to expand and crack the stone.
And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon little boy blue and the man in the moon. Leonard Nimoy gets my blood pumping. I really want to go to coral castle, but where is it? A bus a trailer and an old woman walk into a bar? how is it possible for a bus and a trailer to walk? ecspecaily into a bar? I don't know you have to finish the joke. Okay I can't talk to you any more, hey I'm on YOUTUBE, Hey do you remember when you thought it was UTUBE. Yeah I do that was hillarious.

hi fellas, to make this short..i know what his secret was and is. let me give you a clue, you've got to find out what the symbols are in his castle. Some say there's a treasure map BUT actually, it is not a treasure for money and gold. It is on WHAT he KNOWS.
How i found out? Now that's my secret.
Where i found out? I have discovered things on my end as well. And just like ED and TESLA, i won't give it to the world :)

i may have something for you.
its actually physicly possible to lift heavy things with just a finger.
i dont remember all the details but i did it with my school science clubs a couple years back.
it involves the compression of muscles for a certain amount of time and upon release, you can lift as much as 200 pounds with just a pinky.
the blocks he lifted where over 9 tons i know but it was just with a single finger...

Please demonstrate.
Muscles are not the only factor of lifting.
Metaphysical abilities aside,it will snap you spine.
I would very much like to see someone physically lift 9 tons.
I believe he had unique talents and abilities but I don't think you grasp the implications of your statements.
if you research him and his work further,you'll see that Ed's main abilities and knowledge concerned his discoveries regarding magnets.

The trick is in the muscles. when you're pressing out, you are exerting certain muscles and relaxing the others. Your arms can't go anywhere in the door, but once you step out and relax, your arms say "wait a minute" (the 60 seconds gets you used to those muscles flexed).
The same thing would be if you all put your hands on top of each other. the combined weight of your arms would make it close to the weight of your subject. So your arms are used to holding up that weight.

Sure.
Try that with a 60,000 pound block and tell me how it works out.
That is larger than an 18-wheel tractor-trailer can legally pull without a permit,
so you might want to go to the block instead of having it brought to you.

oh and if you're still not convinced search "one finger lifting" on youtube. i know that there's usually 4 ppl lifting one person with a finger each but they are doing without any practice.
now, imagine someone having a much greater control of that "trick" and using a hand instead of a finger...
p.s: i dint know about ed's research and was just trying to provide a more "mature" theorie to the internet, but magnets could be the solution too.

@lasange
if we add factors to this, maybe we can come up with the right amount of weight he used to lift:
factor 1: if each finger can lift 200 pounds then with both his hands he could be able to lift over 2 tons.
factor 2: we where 10 years old when we did this and he was 40. although he was frail and skinny, muscular size does not have any influence on this. he could have at least been able to lift 4 tons
factor 3: he seemed to live a very spiritual life when he came to florida...

@lasange
factor 3 continued: so my guess is that he spent some time with bhouddist monks or he was a hermit for a long time.
he must also have quite a knowledge of martial arts such as tai-chi or yoga so that he can almost perfect control over his body.
with this much control he could easily increase the weight to 7 tons and even increase the time of lifting to 5 seconds at most.
in conclusion to this part of the mystery, theres still a couple small factors that could change the weight....
jodude5 1 year ago
@lasange
i said earlier that the pinky's limit was 200 pounds but the other fingers have much more strengh than this and he could weight around 8 to 9 tons or 9 to 10 tons with reduced lifting time.
as for how he cut the blocks, it could have been with a diamon-tipped tool.
we saw in the vid that the digging machine had diamond-tipped edge to cut.
they cut it within a day but ed took 6 years i think then it might have taken more than a day to cut it.
to finish this, his wooden crane...
jodude5 1 year ago
@lasange
it looks too weak to lift something like that but look at the way its positioned.
the weight of the block is divided between the 3 crane stands.
most in search of episodes that ive watched are about things i cant explain but this one is child's play to explain though...

Shamanic healing centers, books, and programs are common New Age developments, growing in proportion to the complexity of the modern world and the longing for a simpler past. For some people, shamanism is a window to a glorious, if illusory, past, when humans lived in harmony with nature and with each other. Shamanism offers not only an alternative medicine, but an alternative reality.

Re:Harveybirdmantk421
It was very much so like that. All that drives this planet to advance in technology is to beat the others guys (countries). Theres very little support in expanding our minds as a race and tons of power struggling, wars, arguing, fighting, overpopulating, ego's, destroying beauty etc. etc. What makes you think we deserve to know this as a race?

I hate how people disgrace the human race. it is not our race. from history we can tell it is not who we are but the worlds rules and laws that surround us that create our "life" we try to carry out in lieu with those rules. we are not free minded any longer which is the crippling effect to our race. we are born with free mind and free spirits. our potential will never be held high with this restrictions on our choices of whats wrong or right. MONEy putting a price on things. wrong

So scientists that come up with new knowledge, chemists that come up with new medicine and archetects that come up with new methods of building should all keep it to themselves? Rediculous! Our culture and knowledge all come from our predecessors contributing to society.

You crack large blocks of stone without 'brute force' by drilling holes at intervals and wedging blocks of wood in the holes. You then wet the wood causing it to expand and crack the stone.
