Built by a Ed Leedskalnin, a single, tiny, frail man in Florida in the early 1900s, with no helpers or heavy industrial equipment, Coral Castle is made of individual limestone boulders, which get up to more than 30 tons in weight. Nobody seems to understand how he did it, but the man was obsessed with magnets, and made otherwise outrageous claims, like that he had discovered a perpetual motion, electric generator, and that he knew how the great pyramids were built. He made all of his own tools out of junk and scrap metal, and would let nobody watch him move the boulders. One young, local spy claimed to have seen Ed make these stones float like helium balloons. Leedskalnin took his secrets to his grave, but he and his amazing limestone fort are an obsession among many free-energy, physics, antigravity and megnetism entusiasts world-wide, to this very day.
