There are legends about Coral Castle in Florida (USA). The secrets of the creation of this grandiose structure are shrouded in darkness. The castle itself is a group of figures and buildings made of coral limestone with a total weight of about 1100 tons, the beauty of which can be enjoyed in the photo. This complex was built by only one person - the Latvian emigrant Edward Lidskalnin. He carved structures by hand using the most primitive tools.
How he moved these huge boulders is an unsolved mystery. The list of these buildings includes:
- The tower is two stories high (weight 243 tons).
- Florida state map carved out of stone.
- An underground reservoir with a staircase leading down.
- A table shaped like a heart.
- Sundial.
- Rough armchairs.
- Mars, Saturn and the Moon weighing thirty tons. And many mysterious structures, located on an area of more than 40 hectares.
The life of the creator of the Coral Castle
Edward Leedskalnin came to America in 1920 when he failed in love for his fellow countrywoman, 16-year-old Agnes Scaffs. The emigrant settled in Florida, where he hoped to be cured of tuberculosis. The guy did not have a strong physique. He was short (152 cm) and a flimsy build, but for 20 years in a row he built the castle himself, bringing huge chunks of coral from the coast, carving figures by hand. How the construction of the Coral Castle went, no one still knows.

How one person moved blocks weighing several tons is also incomprehensible: Edward worked exclusively at night and did not let anyone into his territory.
When a lawyer wanted to build up near his site, he moved his buildings to another site a few miles away. How he did it is a new mystery. Everyone saw that a truck was approaching, but no one saw the movers. When asked by acquaintances, the emigrant replied that he knew the secret of the builders of the Egyptian pyramids.
Death of the owner
Leedskalnin died in 1952 of stomach cancer. In his diaries found vague information about the "control of the flows of cosmic energy" and earthly magnetism.
After the death of the mysterious emigrant, the engineering society conducted an experiment: a powerful bulldozer was driven to the construction site, which tried to move one block, but the machine was powerless.
