19,200lbs is 9.6tons. it took him 2 days and the help of machinery to dig a hole to do it. When Leedskalnin moved coral castle, he loaded several tons of sculptures onto a semi overnight. The driver unexpectedly came back after 30min to find many of them already loaded. Ed had many other 15-30ton sculptures in a compact area with no pits dug to slide them in to. this solves nothing.
@@geronimojunior3095 yeah buddy my cat loader can only move 20 tons and ed sure didn't have anything close to that the cranes in Google pictures would be crushed by 2 tons
Solved? Hardly. This in no way explains how Ed lifted a block up within seconds and put it on the truck when they truck driver went around the corner for a few seconds. Kids watching said he looked like he has a donut and an ice cream cone in his hand. Good video but this guy isn't doing anything in seconds
+Mike Bowman No, the website you looked on SAID that people saw him floating rocks around with a magic wand. Doesn't make it so. In fact, the story itself is not only laughable for the obvious reason; it's also laughable by the very fact that the stones for Coral Castle were quarried ON SITE. Why is there even a truck driver in the story? It's BS. And you swallowed it because it appears to support some fanciful explanation for a simple construction job.
+Ash Scott Didn't Ed had to move his, not finished at the time, coral castle at some point? Having to move the whole thing invalidates your argument about the stones being quarried on site...
SpasmAtaK No, the fact that the stones WERE quarried on site invalidates the story that they were moved great distances. The site where they were quarried from is not even a 10 seconds walk away from where they are erected
Taken from wikipedia : "He spent three years moving the Coral Castle structures 10 miles (16 km) north from Florida City to its current location in Leisure City, Florida." The site did change...
During half way point of building it he moved the entire build ten miles away without anyone seeing any machines. The rotating gate is 9 tons, it took a 50 ton crane and 6 guys to replace the bearing in 1986. If you can piece together a truck diff and wheel hubs to move half that weight by yourself and place it on a pin to revolve with little effort as-well-as when it rotates it comes so close to another rock, 3 tons heavy, that no light shines through.then I'll accept this.search 50 ton crane
3:55 Ingenious guy at the end. Probably not the way Coral Castle was made nor the pyramids, but I admire that man's imaginative solution for moving huge blocks.
@@lebanonchristian3951 they definitely didn't solve it because when 2 men came to drop off a bunch of coral they said they left for lunch came back in 30 minutes and they coral was off. They said he had no machine and didn't have the time to set it up. There's a reason he built it where he did because of the lay lines and he only built it at night so no one could see how he did it!
@@brando36922 what do you mean ? Magnetic stuff? The outer parts of pyramids are definitely some sort of concrete but the inner ones , there is something behind the ancient civilization they don't want us to know about
@@lebanonchristian3951 absolutely but I think it had something to do with magnetic and acoustic levitation. He also built the sites on lay lines. Same thing with the pyramids. Just do the research the lay lines go across the world. Iv been there 2 times its incredible.
Have you been to Ed's castle?Let me ask this.How did he place the revolving door for the entrance?None of the methods you showed could solve that issue.Yet another question for you .How did he cut the coral blocks in the first place?One more.How is it he got the top blocks up to the height over the arches???????????????I think you need to try again my friend.........
Great video, but there is only one problem with your solution. When Coral Castle was moved over 10 miles away. The first truck came back in 30 minutes to find Ed Leedskalnin had already loaded half of the next truck with 50 tons of stone by himself. Using the techniques you show in your video, this would have been impossible.
***** But either way, this guy is also quite the genius. He equally accomplished the same task through physical and technical understanding. AND - unlike others, he showed us how he did it. Thus, he could be considered a greater contributor.
bobbie joe shmo I'll argue that last point you made. Was the atomic bomb a greater contribution because it was made known? Are nuclear plants in operation today a greater contribution because they were made known? Are cannons and war machines a greater contribution because they were made known? Is Methamphetamine a greater contribution because it was made known? My answer to all and any invention is; that who holds the knowledge of great power must use great discretion to prevent the soiling of it by mans weakness'. Humans have only proved time and time again that we are not responsible or loving enough for great things. Just as a gun made for hunting can be used to kill a man, so to can a pencil made for writing be used to kill a man. The individual needs to be removed from oneself in order to learn a higher Truth so that human weakness do not spill into the design of powerful inventions or ideas.
Brahp Meahh I completely respect your point, but most of the state of FL is run by nuke power. Cars run because knowledge of how to refine oil into gasoline was shared. And look at radio waves, microwaves, cellular etc. All enrich our lives because they were shared.
did he carry the stones to his backyard and quarry them? How would Ed balance his many tons door with this technique? How would Ed make a 2-story house with this?? I DONT THINK THIS VIDEO ANSWERS EDs ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Except for the fact that at one point after the guy who built Coral Castle was told he built in the wrong place and had to move it nearly a block away. HE DID THAT IN ONE NIGHT. How did he do that on his own?
If the builders of the pyramids used this method, the pyramid would had take hundreds of years to build and not 20 years as accepted by archaeologists. 3 days to lift a 10 ton concrete block is completely different from lifting 30 ton blocks every 2 and a half minute.
Kites operate by using wind power to displace weight and/or work against gravity. There's no limit to the amount that can be used simultaneously and allow for precise placement of very heavy stones at great heights as well. This would also explain how the heavy blocks could be moved over long distances many miles away.... Kite Obelisk Project @ Cal-Tech EDU
my question is what did the abundance of people in that one lil area use for food for this whole time it took to build it? the river that used to pass through there? seems unlikely with the amount of mouths to feed. had to be tens of thousands of people right?
The farmers worked on it during the flood season, and the number of people actually working on the pyramid is being debated. You had bakers and quarry workers and masons and doctors etc... Some think 25,000 all together, some think it's closer to 2,000. Everyone tithed food and goods to the pharaoh and a wealthy one could pay his workers. They got bread and beer, according to the ledgers found in the worker village next to Khufu's. *shrug* They know a whole lot nowadays. Look on a reputable archaeology site and you can find out many things.
You forgot to mention that this man is working ALONE. Instead, the pyramids were built by thousands. If you like the mysteries so much continue wondering why you are such an idiot.
this guys work is just a tiny bit of what it took to build pyramids/ etc. luis, your the idiot. multiply this here by 10,000 and it still wont be as big as all three pyramids. not to mention this guy here didnt do a smooth job.
"When you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras." There is a logical explanation for everything. UFO's , bigfoot, it amazes me so called "modern" humans even entertain such magical thinking.
If you guys really want the simple answer of how Coral Castle was made, it's where the builder [Ed Leedskalnin] is from. That picture of him standing next to the tripod like structure is called a block and tackle. It works with chain and levers and it was pioneered in Latvia where Ed was from. It'll lift every stone found there based on old school methods no longer used. And the shaping of the rocks was done by a chain with a cutting edge on it. Ed wrote all the magnetic jargon to keep the mystery an attraction as it was his source of income. Basically it's just forgotten technology we don't even think of in this age...
You don't wear shoes that are grounded because you're using Block and tackle. The airforce doesn't visit saying you're messing with their radar because you're using block and tackle....
Little disclaimer regardless if this guy is correct or not there was absolutely no way a pick up truck was capable of moving rocks of those magnitude. Not even the bets trucks of this age could move those rocks the damn thing would sink into the ground
A couple of points occurred to me after watching this... Ed did not use concrete blocks, but rather, he actually somehow 'cut' the blocks from the coral bedrock. According to the "In Search Of" TV program, as I recall, it took hours to cut the rock using modern, diamond tip cutters. Also, it took a great deal of time and preparation for Mr. Wallington to move his blocks. However Ed loaded very large blocks onto a flatbed while the driver waited just out of site so that his secret would be kept.
Ed Leedskalnin would laugh his skinny ass off at this. Or, he might cry. Hard to say. What's not hard, is knowing beyond any shadow of a doubt, this is NOT how Ed Leedskalnin built Coral Castle.
I agree :) It's allways funny to see some smartass efforts to replicate the wonder created by Eduards Liedskalnins. After they have lifted some stone or steel concrete construction, they are shouting out that they've discovered the secret of Coral Castle... However none of them have built the rotating stone door alone or to set the Moon and Sun sculpture copy :D
doug ohboy the stone of Coral castle is easier to cut then cement. The mystery of Ed's castle is known. There's pictures and his "secrets" were actually a magnet motor and coil system he used to drive chisels, saw blades. etc.
its nice that he managed to make these rocks move on a perfectly flat cement surface but how about on the actual ground? also how did ancient people cut limestone using copper? its one thing to move a stone its another to carve it.
+Ryan Punk Yes, the problem with moving large stones on ground, NOT cement surface, is a big one- the blustones at Stonehenge came from Wales, and depending on the route, and whether any of it was by water or not, would have had to travel somewhere between 135 and 200 miles. No evidence of trackways has been found. If they used Wallington's pebble method, they would have had to put down a solid surface for the whole distance, AND it was not all level, either. The pebble method will not work going uphill. I have studied Stonehenge quite a bit, and even if part of it can be explained, a lot of it cannot, or at least has not. Also, you mention the carving: the capstones have perfectly fitting mortise and tenon joints to fit the uprights, and also V/A shaped interlocks on the ends. Not only that, but the capstones are not actually rectangular, they are very slightly rounded to conform to the overall circular structure. And this is not even addressing the fact that people in roughly the same (but not precise) time frame, also built Avebury, Silbury Hill, West Kennet Longbarrow, and countless other amazing structures.
It's been shown that you can cut rock very easily with a toothless copper saw, using sand as the abrasive. The ancient Egyptians did it even with granite, so limestone would be no problem. We're also assuming that they didn't just do a rough cut with other tools, then finish with a polishing rock and sand. I don't think the carving is really the big obsticle here. I don't know much about Stonehenge. Do we know what tools archeologists have found at the site?
+anonymouseketeamster Copper tools were not yet in use. That aside, though, there are a lot of other problems to be addressed: why did construction continue at Stonehenge for 1500-2000 years? What caused the people of the area to be dedicated for that long? Of course, it was not a continuous build for all of those years, but from earliest to last phases, that is how much time was involved. During that same time frame, 4 million man hours were used in the building of Silbury Hill. More man hours were involved in the building of the Avebury Circle (actually circles, plural) than at Stonehenge. Woodhenge was also built. As far as tools found, basically antler pics for digging have been found.
Casey Vee I guess the answer to "Woodhenge" is pretty simple - Weather meant that it had to be rebuilt as the elements ate away at it. That kind of begs the question about its purpose though... It would suggest a ceremonial significance to the sites, and one that was deeply entrenched in the culture of the people of the surrounding area that spanned millenia...hence their devotion to to the Avebury circle(s) over such a long period of time. I've read and seen some interesting documentaries which all address potential anthopological reasons for these great complexes being built. It was a while ago, so I'm a bit fuzzy on the details, but I do remember hearing about a group of archeologists uncovering what appeared to be a connecting road between Woodhenge and Stonehenge, and theorizing that it was part of a mass processional of people undertaking an annual rite for those who had passed in the previous year. Of course, that's a theory...which is a fancy word for an educated guess. I'm sorry I can't remember the name of it...but there's plenty more out there...plus a few that look at the actual construction of Stonehenge, which have some tell-tale marks of pretty well-known construction techniques (I think it was holes for hoisting ropes on sides that wouldn't be seen...but I could be wrong). Anyhow, I'm in the middle of looking at something else right now, and this isn't really something I actively research, but if I come across the material again, I'll link you up.
+Casey Vee The blue stones were light enough to be picked right up off the ground. How do you think they got them on the boat? And they DID carry them on a boat. Not just because one is still on the seabed, but because they weren't idiots.
The pyramid Abu Rowash in Egypt is on top of a mountain. There is no way this technique is sound to accomplish getting 400 ton block not only up a pyramid but a mountain as well. The Egyptians moved stones up to 400 tons which would crush these wooden contraptions.
The levitation could have been done with a flywheel circuit like Ed built, or possibly using a solid state version of this; the Ark of the covenant which was infact the exact dimension of a box found inside the kings chamber in Cheops. Obvious to me this ark was used in the queens chamber which was lined with gold to prevent radiation waves leaking out. The ground lead to water below all pyramids and also to the foot of the sphynx. Why? It's ion charge was healthy! people bathed to heal and energize. It's zero point energy just like the concentric ring walls used in Atlantis; the tournament players would stand in it's midst to regenerate in 1 hour as if they'd slept for 2 days.
That's not actually true. In the 1780's, the largest carved & moved stone in the world was transported from 6 kilometers to its current location in St. Petersburg, using a sled with rollers. 1500 tonnes, carved down to 1250 (some of the carving was done along the way). It's all a matter of scale & persistence.
Helios77711 I would expect as much from you. Remember; if you're trying to call bullshit, bring some facts. I have many videos full of facts. What do you have? Nothing. You are what you do. I'm still waiting for a real comeback.
Wally is amazing and has really shown what a man can do if he really puts his mind to it. I do not think this is how coral castle was built. I don't think that Ed Leedskalnin used Wally's method and then wrote a book about magnetic current and built the flywheel, used geometry and planetary symbolism just to throw people off track.
I noticed the man turning the large concrete block did so while the ground beneath the block was a solid concrete slab. Try doing this on soft ground and see how well it works. I'll hazard a guess and say it won't. Also, let's see how this was done with blocks the same size as those used in the trilathon at Baalbek. Over a 1000 tons each.
My understanding is He had the corral rocks delivered by trucks, and He would make the driver leave and when the driver would come back, the blocks would be unloaded.
@@ThisIsGonnaBFine I think this was just how the blocks were transported from his original site to the location it's in now. coral castle was originally located in the Florida City area but it was moved. it seems that Ed quarried the blocks himself from the bedrock using a large metal door, among other things. quite possibly the quarrying was done with some sort of sonic drilling/sawing and then it seems like he may have combined mechanical advantage (from pulleys and ratchets) with some kind of magnetic influence to lift and position the blocks
The problem with Wally's theory is that he only moves big rocks on prepared smooth surfaces. I'd like to see him move those huge rocks over rugged terrain and up and down inclined contours.
it is NOT hard to imagine that someone instead place stable ground to move the object a distance. you can also CHOOSE the path you take and avoid difficult terrain.
The pyramid Abu Rowash in Egypt is on top of a mountain. There is no way this technique is sound to accomplish getting 400 ton block not only up a pyramid but a mountain as well. The Egyptians moved stones up to 400 tons which would crush these wooden contraptions.
In my opinion, there were 2 completely methods used by Ed. One to quarry the rocks using electromagnets to chisel and saw cut and remove the blocks from the ground (he could have used a donkey and treadmill to do the former)and used his tripod with winch to hoist the blocks free. Secondly, his technique to positioning the blocks in situ which involved zero gravity or acoustic levitation using Polaris as the North magnet and Saturn as the South. To steer the blocks he magnetised himself hence his lead shoes and the cones in his hands. As Ed himself said "It's easy if you know how."
What about the part where Edward had to move this entire structure TO Homestead? It was built else ware and then moved years later. This video doesn't prove anything
coral 'rock' is porous... while amazing, Wally was using concrete blocks... much harder, smoother surface for the 'pebble' to rest against. Coral rock has large divots and is softer. I'd be surprised if Ed could have used pebbles to move the large blocks. Perhaps, but it's harder for me to picture.
i bet it wont work for sure.. whats your point? i said i didn't belive ed used that method to build the coral castle either.. or did you missunderstand me? :)
Actually Ed used Oolite, not coral. It gets heavy after 12,000 years of silica bonding underwater. No debunker has of yet explained how the young boys 9yo could have mistakenly witnessed Ed moving a stone like a blimp. They said he had what appeared to be ice cream cones in his hands. Well infact they were conical coils used to project a grid zone of charge and were supplemental to the existing heavy ion mass displacement circuit which took me 2 years to reverse engineer, but it is done. The truck driver also returned after 30 minutes to find Ed had loaded a trailer with stones like a deck of cards. No heavy equipment, no tracks! Just that tripod with the mystery box on top. I discovered the box contained a 32 pole 12vac dynamo which was part of this 3 ground circuit used to split mass from energy.
This has nothing to do with Coral Castle and it's not how Coral Castle was built imo. The guy that built Coral Castle used electricity and some sort of flywheel system.
This is so stupid it hurts. Go to Egypt and move a three thousand ton block on pebbles. Not possible even if you had the perfect surface this Muppet used with his pebbles.
The only person that has the secret of Coral Castle is dead. This is a valiant effort, however, Ed Leedskalnin did all of his work at night and no one knows for sure.
Just to be clear "could have been built this way" and "mystery solved" don't go together. Yes, it COULD have been built this way, but it's a long, long way from conclusive evidence that it WAS built this way.
Let's have a big round of applause for Wally the construction worker who solved and proved how ancient megalithic structures were built WITHOUT space aliens, antigravity beams, nephelim, leprechauns or angels!!
I thought Ed used the equipment photographed that you posted at the beginning of the video. Are you suggesting he moved 30 ton stones with a rock and a stack of 2"x4"s? (How did he get the 2"x4"s under a 30 ton stone?)
"The Coral Castle Could Have Been Built Just Like This." "The Coral Castle Mystery: Has Just Been Solved." Nope. "Could have been" suggests that it is only one way it might have happened. You haven't "solved" anything here. This was just a 7:39 waste of time.
Using that method, the coral would break under its own weight. Also, this method has been disproven many times due to the fact that few blocks show scoring, drag marks, and many blocks lifted in Egypt would easily crush the wood they rested upon. Also, they are porous just like coral. That in itself is a tremendous clue.
Stonehenge, rocks originated from Ireland. If only the video can explain how they were moved from there to it's location in England. Also it is said that during the move of Coral Castle from it's original location to the current, the owner had a truck brought over so he can transport the rocks. The driver left the truck but returned soon after because he forgot something. To his amazement he saw the truck already loaded with heavy blocks and no cranes or other machinery around. It could be a story but...
Personally, I think Ed used something like the Hutchison effect. There is the ability to effect an objects gravitation by adjusting a frequency perfect to the resonance of the object. Or, if you can create a "field" around an object by controlling the frequency resonance, theoretically you can easily adjust how gravity is effected on an object by turning a knob that will adjust it's frequency, or the frequency around it. Limitation is all in the mind.
In a biography of Ed Leedscalen, it was said that Ed built the castle in the Fort Lauderdale area, and then moved it to Homestead. (So he lifted these huge stones more than once!) The flatbed drivers were never allowed to watch him load the truck, which only took a few minutes. I doubt if he was using a wooden tripod to do this and I'll bet that he didn't leave any worthwhile clues behind for the war mongers and evil idiots to learn from.
+Chuck Brown Yeah a guy had the power to levitate 1000lb blocks but he only decides to build a stone garden with it. The story about him using magic levitation? Totally true. The idea that he could have done it with normal technology that has been in use for centuries? CIA cover up. Congratulations you're stupid as shit.
+Reverend Green the answers are all around the castle you idiot it requires a deeper level of understanding that you are just not capable of. "magic" Lmfao educate yourself before u speak
very good. now i would like to know how the fuck can they make perfect edges and perfect hollowed out holes and perfectly cut round pillars and cut a perfect square hole far into a incredible hard stone with copper tools that can barely make a scratch on those damn things! because i saw nothing like that explained in this video ( or coral castle) either the ancients had way way better technology or something is up!
This doesn't explain how Leedskalnin moved MUCH heavier pieces in a SHORTER period of time, nor how he QUARRIED huge blocks of coral. I don't recall him claiming that Leedskalnin used these methods, but that is implied by the narrator. This video HARDLY explains the LEVEL of the magnificent feats required to build coral castle, though SOME of these methods may have been used.
Wishful thinking. Leedskalin was able to do a lot of this work in very short times. Mostly at night. He moved items a heck of a lot heavier than this man. He didn't have a concrete floor to "roll" things on. Nor did he have tons of lumber laying around to use as fulcrums and counterbalances. Nice try but no cigar.
+Reverend Green Two reasons. When he moved from his original location, the truck driver he hired stated that he would leave the truck at his place and come back in the morning and it was loaded with tons of blocks. And this occurred many times. And it didn't take him "years" to build it. Only when he decided to add to it after awhile.
Can you prove any of those claims? Of course not. Besides, loading some blocks onto a truck with no one watching you doesn't equal magical levitating powers. It's only mysterious because you weren't there to witness it.
those bricks are no where near the size of Stonehenge, and let alone no where near the bricks on the pyramidz, and remember the Stonehenge and the pyramid bricks were carried from somewhere, and how did you get your bricks there , I bet you didn't carry them on stones getting them there?
He's one man doing it alone. Imagine how a group of men working together could accomplish more. And there are lots of pictures made by the Egyptians illustrating how the pyramids were made. We don't have to speculate about them.
there isn't loads of pictures at all, there more like layout plans that don't make sense, these pyramids aligned with the stars, the sun, the mathematics involed is flawless, where the edges aligned with razor edge precision, we cant do that today, and I believe they did have free energy, due to the water systems that were criss cossing under them, and just one of them blocks are like three times the size of houses, have you seen the spinx, the face is a mirror image literally of each side
Point is ordinarily you'd think one man could NOT move and stand up a 19,000 lb block, but he did it which proves it can be done. Now put in more people, more time and imagine what you could do. But people being what they are today would prefer to believe the mysterious rather than what they have just had proven as fact.
There was no need to lift the stone first before standing it up right. While the stone laid on the ground, mark the halfway point, place extra weight on one side, dig the earth away under the other side, get out of the hole, release the weights, and bam....
Coral castle was built with nothing more than mechanical advantage. Nothing he did was impossible, he just had knowledge in pulleys and gear reduction. We already know this is how he did it, people are just confused by what he accomplished using only compound pulleys and gearboxes. The damn crane is still there on display. I will say this, if you manage so much with so little, that people think its witchcraft, then a damn fine job you did :)
Great demo of human ingenuity. Stiil not Leedskalnin's technique. So - Nice try but not quote. Some of Ed's blocks were raised 20 ft or more on top of other blocks. Leeskalnin loaded hauling strucks with his blocks in 30 minutes by himself. No way this guys techniques could have worked for that. Whatever. We shall figure it our sooner or later. ;)
Great post thanks. Since coral rock is not magnetic, and since no one can, "switch gravity off"; it looks like the real winner is, "human ingenuity and hard work." Makes me feel proud to be human.
its adorable that [probably american/christian] people like you think that gravity cannot be manipulated. it is a field of force like any other. youve fallen into the classic trap of stopping a newtonian physics to define your reality. pickup a book on quantum mechanics and you'll see that some very "solid" newtonian principles are actually nothing more than illusion. take a nonmagnetic nail and rub a magnet across it several times. when you have lined up the polarity of enough atoms in the same direction, the nail itself will have magnetic properties. While this is not the same thing, it goes to show that fields are fields and can be manipulated.
In the state in which we observe it...open your mind up to the possibility that in some state, because it its made of a material that possess positive and negatively charged ions, it could in some state become magetized...dont think because you have learned a scientific principle you can apply it ubiquitously, that is not true understanding just regurgitation
Greg Jones Are you suggesting that if someone believes that a blue collar worker from the 1940's used the same methods as the man from Flint instead of some theoretical quantum philosophy, then that someone is close-minded? I see in this video someone using ingenuity and engineering to accomplish the same sort of task as the man who made Coral Castle. That would suggest that bringing quantum issues into this puzzle might be over-thinking things and that a judicious use of Occam's razor might be beneficial.
In Peru, the stones are not only heavy, but pillow shaped and interlocking. Some of them weigh 120 tons and others are 6 feet thick. A human hair will not pass between them. So, just being able to move a block doesn't explain the rest.
I have loaded and unloaded a building onto truck that way when I was 17, but I have also pulled up, and adjusted the tension on several cable suspension bridges, using leavers, by hand, the tension on the cable is north of 40 tons. (Blackshale creek, near Kananaskis, Alberta, Kelowna Mountain)
Has this guy ever hung a precisely balanced 10 ton rotating door? PMH? There is no way this video answers any profound question with regards to Coral Castle or Mr Leedskalnin.
Moving massively heavy stones may be possible across the ground using rollers, etc. BUT that doesn't explain how they were lifted and placed upon one another at great heights.
His device puts the "B" field of the magnet into the earth then he extracts from the out side spinning wheel a pulse from the magnets. This is set to a frequency to disrupt the molecules in the rock making it easy to cut.
It's a good theory, but inconsistent with how Coral Castle was built. No such apparatuses were ever discovered on the property, and the guy in this video has a rather elaborate setup. The creator of Coral Castle would unload the giant blocks from the trucks and build entire structures within one night, making the new addition complete by morning. Notice this guy did not mention how long it took him to construct 1 arch. Also to dig the hole and place it etc... is very elaborate. Again, good theory, but highly unlikely to be the actual method.
So, the 19,000 lb. block is only a third of the weight of the 30 ton block at coral castle. This guy lifted his block 3 ft., so that would mean the guy at coral castle would have to lift his block up approximately 9 ft. Following the process the guy did in the video, a person would run the risk of fracturing the stone and they would have to start over. Also, we don't exactly find petrified wood in Egypt, which should be present considering how much wood they would need to build something thousands of time greater then these little side projects. Physics definitely played a role in the creation of the megaliths, but it is still very questionable as to which physics.
One thing they didn't tell you is that he moved all this from the original site to where it is now by night using trucks. The trucker was not allow to be there when it was loaded and unloaded.
I admire this guy's dedication to spinning and lifting stones around with sticks and gravity but i doubt thats how the Coral Castle was built... First of all this dude probably had the blocks pre-order cut, he didnt carve and morph them himself and secondly, its all cool and well when he spins and lifts them when they are mounted to the proper sticks and contraptions but how does he even get the blocks on these contraptions in the first place?
So you just do it in 3ft steps, right? In any case, he only stopped at that height because that's all he needed - with a small team working at it (a bunch of guys stood on top holding stone weights, another one or two at the bottom to shove in shoring-blocks and extend the guide planks as the first group walked back and forth...), you could easily use that method to raise a block of that weight 10ft or more in an hour.
With few exceptions, the objects are made from single pieces of stone that weigh on average 15 short tons (14 t) each. The largest stone weighs 30 short tons (27 t) and the tallest are two monoliths standing 25 ft (7.6 m) each.
You may beg to differ; however, in 1722 when the first European, (Dutch), landed on Easter Island, there were two types of humans: the short ears and the long ears. The short ears were like us. The long ears were 12 feet tall. Sailors talked of walking between their legs. The captain and the sailors of the Dutch ship witnessed the long ears floating the statues into place. It is a real technology that allows gravity to be thwarted. Research will render amazing facts.
Not likely. Notice how Wallington can only move blocks on a flat concrete surface with a rock under it. Also, there is the fact that Ed Leedskalnin dismantled and moved all the blocks of his castle onto a truck by himself in less than a day in order to relocate at another location. Very unlikely Wallingtons method could move as many blocks with one man in an afternoon. Your theory is busted
black box is a battery power supply for electromagnet, as he mention some box with power in his book. And it might be he also uses magnet holder mentioned in the book to grip the block
Whatabout those rocks that are larger than freight trains? One of the problems with obelisks is that they often broke under their own weight. Which means that they had to be supported very carefully the whole way thru. Setting them on pivots or fulcrums would have broken them.
The mystery of the gate's perfectly balanced axis and the ease with which it revolved lasted for decades until it stopped working in 1986. In order to remove it, six men and a 50-short-ton (45 t) crane were used. Once the gate was removed, the engineers discovered how Leedskalnin had centered and balanced it. He had drilled a hole from top to bottom and inserted a metal shaft.
A 9-short-ton (8.2 t) revolving 8-foot tall gate is a famous structure of the castle, documented on the television programs In Search of... and That's Incredible! The gate is carved so that it fits within a quarter of an inch of the walls. It was well-balanced, reportedly so that a child could open it with the push of a finger.
Not a viable explanation: it was a long, slow job for Wallington to raise his stone block about 3 feet. Ed was raising blocks much higher, moving them horizontally, & positioning them - OVERNIGHT. Ed was working in the dark to boot; he had a very slight build, but Wally is a large man.
Maybe not the choice of music I`d have used for this type of video but damn I`m so glad you did. Stevie Wonder - Very Superstitious , had me dancing around my kitchen whilst cooking. Cheers Ricky mate, you get a big thumbs up from me.
Man so many people who want to believe in space magic. Physics is physics, the size of the weight of the blocks doesn't make a bit a difference. As for carving, there is a reason its called Coral Castle, its made out of coral, not rock. Coral is just calcium carbonate, you can dissolve it with common household acids. It wouldn't be difficult to cut or carve at all.
NO! the Coral Castle was not built with rocks and sticks. the stones were removed from trucks in the middle of the night so it only took him minuets or at the most an hour. rocks and sticks would have taken him days. and there's a story about some kids who said they saw him moving the stones from a truck with what looked icecream cones which fits with the theory's of pyramid power in some way. and Viktor S. Grebennikov and his work with bee hives with cone shaped structures and his flying platform that used bug wings that he later discovered had a cone shaped structure to them. so sorry I don't believe in the rocks and stick theory. it's more likely he used sound like the Tibetans have been said to use.
Hand tools can cut coral, it is not a hard stone. You can take sand and a bronze untoothed saw blade and rub it over and over again using friction like you would a drill and slice coral or Granite. Heck water erodes stone over time too, Calcium Carbonate which most coral is made of can be dissolved with acids But you will notice in the pictures that Ed had a multi-loop chain hoist, Doesn't take much energy to hoist tons of auto engines with one, or Fell trees, or Move things by hand.
It wasn't accomplished overnight, he asked that the stones be delivered on a flatbed truck and both the truck and coral block be left overnight, the driver would return in the morning and the stone was in place...if you think you have discovered this secret...build one, just like he did.
This video shows how one can move heavy blocks around on the ground and stand one on end but it doesn't show how one can raise it off the ground and place a heavy block on top of another.
I have visited Coral Castle, inverviewed the curator and visited his old homestead where the Coral Castle was originally constructed. I believe that Ed used high pressure water to cut and move the coral. There is a letter from a gentleman in the Coarl Castle that tells about him going to buy some coral from Ed. Ed instructed him to back his truck behind a large bush and walk to the front of his truck. When Ed called him, the huge coarl piece was on his truck and it was soaking wet.
Further -correlation does not imply causation, i.e., Coral Castle Solved?, not so much. Rudimentary manual megalithic movement has been long known, and it certainly played some part at CC, but simply because you, by one method are able to accomplish a task, does NOT guarantee, nor even imply that the same task was achieved thusly by others.
Coral castle was moved by the builder after it was first built and the truck driver waited around the front of the truck while he would put the blocks on his truck . So ?
The ancient Egyptian artifacts in the Cairo museum contain an artifact labeled as a "lotus flower pot" . This item looks as if it were meant to spin on a machine. When the item was replicated by a group of scientists for testing, it was spun at high rpm. The results were astonishing. The "lotus flower pot" created two parralel sound frequencies . What is the significance? When two frequencies are projected parallel to each other, they create an anti-gravity field in the middle of the two sound waves. "Lotus flower pot?" More like coverup...
you need to account for many variables that don't match up between the retired construction worker and coral castle. scientifically it is not enough evidence to account for every feat that the coral castle displays. You don't account for odd angles and multi layered structures which are perfectly balanced and symmetrical, they have also withstood the test of time and extreme weather like the hurricanes that south Florida gets. Lastly, we are just starting to understand electromagnetism's relation to gravity and the two forces can directly affect and cancel each other out. We can already levitate objects with mercury and liquid nitrogen as well as dry ice. It is not a far stretch to think that anti gravity is possible.
We know from the photo evidence that he used tripods with pulleys or tackleblocks. WE also know that it was important for him to have a source of water at his two sites. WE also know he used a small hand cranked generator. I believe he used the generator to pump water into a tank or two tanks used as counterweights to lift the objects. One tripod on each side of the block to be lifted, pump water into the tanks, block lifts, pump more into one tank, block goes to that side so sideways movement
Ed, He dug and cut his own stones, since you (solved) the mystery, tell us how he cut and lifted and transported and set a 30 ton stone?? not once but a few times and then moved the whole completed site to a different site. He knew something that is for sure.
that's funny cuz I always moved refrigerators or other heavy furniture by leaning on it, twisting it, spinning it on he opposite side it move the length of the base pretty much. You can even wiggle it through door like that. The guy discovered balance that is all. If it was something really heavy I just lean it, put a towel under it, and spin it, no marks on the floor anything moves. So all he really needed the pulley for was to lean and spin stuff. Enough pulleys will pull any weight up.
Ed said with his knowledge of how he built the coral castle you could "leave earth, travel to Pluto, come back in TIME for dinner, and have More energy when you got back than what you left with....." this guy did NOT solve how the coral castle was built. Not even close.
19,200lbs is 9.6tons. it took him 2 days and the help of machinery to dig a hole to do it.
When Leedskalnin moved coral castle, he loaded several tons of sculptures onto a semi overnight. The driver unexpectedly came back after 30min to find many of them already loaded.
Ed had many other 15-30ton sculptures in a compact area with no pits dug to slide them in to.
this solves nothing.
LuckyMarketGameplay he used a crane
Benjamin Nassif plenty of pictures of his crane in his yard on internet just google it
@@geronimojunior3095 not a crane, a wooden tripod.
And no one can duplicate it today
@@geronimojunior3095 yeah buddy my cat loader can only move 20 tons and ed sure didn't have anything close to that the cranes in Google pictures would be crushed by 2 tons

Then you suffer,
Superstition ain't the way, yeah, yeah
The added music was terrible
Solved? Hardly. This in no way explains how Ed lifted a block up within seconds and put it on the truck when they truck driver went around the corner for a few seconds. Kids watching said he looked like he has a donut and an ice cream cone in his hand. Good video but this guy isn't doing anything in seconds
+Mike Bowman No, the website you looked on SAID that people saw him floating rocks around with a magic wand. Doesn't make it so. In fact, the story itself is not only laughable for the obvious reason; it's also laughable by the very fact that the stones for Coral Castle were quarried ON SITE. Why is there even a truck driver in the story? It's BS. And you swallowed it because it appears to support some fanciful explanation for a simple construction job.
+Ash Scott Didn't Ed had to move his, not finished at the time, coral castle at some point? Having to move the whole thing invalidates your argument about the stones being quarried on site...
SpasmAtaK
No, the fact that the stones WERE quarried on site invalidates the story that they were moved great distances. The site where they were quarried from is not even a 10 seconds walk away from where they are erected
Taken from wikipedia :
"He spent three years moving the Coral Castle structures 10 miles (16 km) north from Florida City to its current location in Leisure City, Florida."
The site did change...
Only the last pieces he assembled where quarried on site, or at least close to it.
During half way point of building it he moved the entire build ten miles away without anyone seeing any machines. The rotating gate is 9 tons, it took a 50 ton crane and 6 guys to replace the bearing in 1986. If you can piece together a truck diff and wheel hubs to move half that weight by yourself and place it on a pin to revolve with little effort as-well-as when it rotates it comes so close to another rock, 3 tons heavy, that no light shines through.then I'll accept this.search 50 ton crane
3:55 Ingenious guy at the end. Probably not the way Coral Castle was made nor the pyramids, but I admire that man's imaginative solution for moving huge blocks.
No, he did not solved yet! Because he can rotate these blocks only on a smooth surface. I bet he could not do the same on the rough ground!
There is something called acoustic levitation and frequencies
@@lebanonchristian3951 they definitely didn't solve it because when 2 men came to drop off a bunch of coral they said they left for lunch came back in 30 minutes and they coral was off. They said he had no machine and didn't have the time to set it up. There's a reason he built it where he did because of the lay lines and he only built it at night so no one could see how he did it!
@@brando36922 what do you mean ? Magnetic stuff? The outer parts of pyramids are definitely some sort of concrete but the inner ones , there is something behind the ancient civilization they don't want us to know about
@@lebanonchristian3951 absolutely but I think it had something to do with magnetic and acoustic levitation. He also built the sites on lay lines. Same thing with the pyramids. Just do the research the lay lines go across the world. Iv been there 2 times its incredible.
Have you been to Ed's castle?Let me ask this.How did he place the revolving door for the entrance?None of the methods you showed could solve that issue.Yet another question for you .How did he cut the coral blocks in the first place?One more.How is it he got the top blocks up to the height over the arches???????????????I think you need to try again my friend.........
Yes I've been to The Heart of the Castle....
Great video, but there is only one problem with your solution. When Coral Castle was moved over 10 miles away. The first truck came back in 30 minutes to find Ed Leedskalnin had already loaded half of the next truck with 50 tons of stone by himself. Using the techniques you show in your video, this would have been impossible.
Yup, I agree...I don't think this was what he used either.
***** But either way, this guy is also quite the genius. He equally accomplished the same task through physical and technical understanding. AND - unlike others, he showed us how he did it. Thus, he could be considered a greater contributor.
bobbie joe shmo I'll argue that last point you made. Was the atomic bomb a greater contribution because it was made known? Are nuclear plants in operation today a greater contribution because they were made known? Are cannons and war machines a greater contribution because they were made known? Is Methamphetamine a greater contribution because it was made known? My answer to all and any invention is; that who holds the knowledge of great power must use great discretion to prevent the soiling of it by mans weakness'. Humans have only proved time and time again that we are not responsible or loving enough for great things. Just as a gun made for hunting can be used to kill a man, so to can a pencil made for writing be used to kill a man. The individual needs to be removed from oneself in order to learn a higher Truth so that human weakness do not spill into the design of powerful inventions or ideas.
Brahp Meahh I completely respect your point, but most of the state of FL is run by nuke power. Cars run because knowledge of how to refine oil into gasoline was shared. And look at radio waves, microwaves, cellular etc. All enrich our lives because they were shared.
exactly...this doesn't solve the mystery but still shows a way to do it. Though it lacks efficiency of time of his mysterious method.
did he carry the stones to his backyard and quarry them?
How would Ed balance his many tons door with this technique? How would Ed make a 2-story house with this??
I DONT THINK THIS VIDEO ANSWERS EDs ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Except for the fact that at one point after the guy who built Coral Castle was told he built in the wrong place and had to move it nearly a block away. HE DID THAT IN ONE NIGHT. How did he do that on his own?
Very interesting but there is no way you can build a pyramid carrying 15ton stones up hill doesnt matter if there where 50 people carrying each stone
If the builders of the pyramids used this method, the pyramid would had take hundreds of years to build and not 20 years as accepted by archaeologists.
3 days to lift a 10 ton concrete block is completely different from lifting 30 ton blocks every 2 and a half minute.
Kites operate by using wind power to displace weight and/or work against gravity. There's no limit to the amount that can be used simultaneously and allow for precise placement of very heavy stones at great heights as well. This would also explain how the heavy blocks could be moved over long distances many miles away.... Kite Obelisk Project @ Cal-Tech EDU
my question is what did the abundance of people in that one lil area use for food for this whole time it took to build it? the river that used to pass through there? seems unlikely with the amount of mouths to feed. had to be tens of thousands of people right?
The farmers worked on it during the flood season, and the number of people actually working on the pyramid is being debated. You had bakers and quarry workers and masons and doctors etc... Some think 25,000 all together, some think it's closer to 2,000. Everyone tithed food and goods to the pharaoh and a wealthy one could pay his workers. They got bread and beer, according to the ledgers found in the worker village next to Khufu's. *shrug* They know a whole lot nowadays. Look on a reputable archaeology site and you can find out many things.
You forgot to mention that this man is working ALONE. Instead, the pyramids were built by thousands. If you like the mysteries so much continue wondering why you are such an idiot.
this guys work is just a tiny bit of what it took to build pyramids/ etc. luis, your the idiot. multiply this here by 10,000 and it still wont be as big as all three pyramids. not to mention this guy here didnt do a smooth job.
"When you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras." There is a logical explanation for everything. UFO's , bigfoot, it amazes me so called "modern" humans even entertain such magical thinking.
If you guys really want the simple answer of how Coral Castle was made, it's where the builder [Ed Leedskalnin] is from. That picture of him standing next to the tripod like structure is called a block and tackle. It works with chain and levers and it was pioneered in Latvia where Ed was from. It'll lift every stone found there based on old school methods no longer used. And the shaping of the rocks was done by a chain with a cutting edge on it. Ed wrote all the magnetic jargon to keep the mystery an attraction as it was his source of income. Basically it's just forgotten technology we don't even think of in this age...
he didnt just write a book though he had those coil things
What was on that tripod was a "tuner"
Spot on.
@@daviddemaria3982 Spot on what?
You don't wear shoes that are grounded because you're using Block and tackle. The airforce doesn't visit saying you're messing with their radar because you're using block and tackle....
Little disclaimer regardless if this guy is correct or not there was absolutely no way a pick up truck was capable of moving rocks of those magnitude. Not even the bets trucks of this age could move those rocks the damn thing would sink into the ground
The last guy was super intelligent and very creative but it doesn't prove that the coral castle was built the same way!
A couple of points occurred to me after watching this...
Ed did not use concrete blocks, but rather, he actually somehow 'cut' the blocks from the coral bedrock. According to the "In Search Of" TV program, as I recall, it took hours to cut the rock using modern, diamond tip cutters.
Also, it took a great deal of time and preparation for Mr. Wallington to move his blocks. However Ed loaded very large blocks onto a flatbed while the driver waited just out of site so that his secret would be kept.
Ed Leedskalnin would laugh his skinny ass off at this. Or, he might cry. Hard to say. What's not hard, is knowing beyond any shadow of a doubt, this is NOT how Ed Leedskalnin built Coral Castle.
I agree :) It's allways funny to see some smartass efforts to replicate the wonder created by Eduards Liedskalnins. After they have lifted some stone or steel concrete construction, they are shouting out that they've discovered the secret of Coral Castle... However none of them have built the rotating stone door alone or to set the Moon and Sun sculpture copy :D
he used two frequency alternating tone generator with a square wave
no doubt about it ;) frankly - Ed was alien himself and help from another group of aliens appears to be true
thats poured cement... useing modern tools.. this vid is ''bs''..
doug ohboy the stone of Coral castle is easier to cut then cement. The mystery of Ed's castle is known. There's pictures and his "secrets" were actually a magnet motor and coil system he used to drive chisels, saw blades. etc.
its nice that he managed to make these rocks move on a perfectly flat cement surface but how about on the actual ground? also how did ancient people cut limestone using copper? its one thing to move a stone its another to carve it.
+Ryan Punk Yes, the problem with moving large stones on ground, NOT cement surface, is a big one- the blustones at Stonehenge came from Wales, and depending on the route, and whether any of it was by water or not, would have had to travel somewhere between 135 and 200 miles. No evidence of trackways has been found. If they used Wallington's pebble method, they would have had to put down a solid surface for the whole distance, AND it was not all level, either. The pebble method will not work going uphill. I have studied Stonehenge quite a bit, and even if part of it can be explained, a lot of it cannot, or at least has not. Also, you mention the carving: the capstones have perfectly fitting mortise and tenon joints to fit the uprights, and also V/A shaped interlocks on the ends. Not only that, but the capstones are not actually rectangular, they are very slightly rounded to conform to the overall circular structure. And this is not even addressing the fact that people in roughly the same (but not precise) time frame, also built Avebury, Silbury Hill, West Kennet Longbarrow, and countless other amazing structures.
It's been shown that you can cut rock very easily with a toothless copper saw, using sand as the abrasive. The ancient Egyptians did it even with granite, so limestone would be no problem.
We're also assuming that they didn't just do a rough cut with other tools, then finish with a polishing rock and sand.
I don't think the carving is really the big obsticle here.
I don't know much about Stonehenge. Do we know what tools archeologists have found at the site?
+anonymouseketeamster Copper tools were not yet in use. That aside, though, there are a lot of other problems to be addressed: why did construction continue at Stonehenge for 1500-2000 years? What caused the people of the area to be dedicated for that long? Of course, it was not a continuous build for all of those years, but from earliest to last phases, that is how much time was involved. During that same time frame, 4 million man hours were used in the building of Silbury Hill. More man hours were involved in the building of the Avebury Circle (actually circles, plural) than at Stonehenge. Woodhenge was also built. As far as tools found, basically antler pics for digging have been found.
Casey Vee
I guess the answer to "Woodhenge" is pretty simple - Weather meant that it had to be rebuilt as the elements ate away at it.
That kind of begs the question about its purpose though...
It would suggest a ceremonial significance to the sites, and one that was deeply entrenched in the culture of the people of the surrounding area that spanned millenia...hence their devotion to to the Avebury circle(s) over such a long period of time.
I've read and seen some interesting documentaries which all address potential anthopological reasons for these great complexes being built.
It was a while ago, so I'm a bit fuzzy on the details, but I do remember hearing about a group of archeologists uncovering what appeared to be a connecting road between Woodhenge and Stonehenge, and theorizing that it was part of a mass processional of people undertaking an annual rite for those who had passed in the previous year.
Of course, that's a theory...which is a fancy word for an educated guess.
I'm sorry I can't remember the name of it...but there's plenty more out there...plus a few that look at the actual construction of Stonehenge, which have some tell-tale marks of pretty well-known construction techniques (I think it was holes for hoisting ropes on sides that wouldn't be seen...but I could be wrong).
Anyhow, I'm in the middle of looking at something else right now, and this isn't really something I actively research, but if I come across the material again, I'll link you up.
+Casey Vee The blue stones were light enough to be picked right up off the ground. How do you think they got them on the boat? And they DID carry them on a boat. Not just because one is still on the seabed, but because they weren't idiots.
The pyramid Abu Rowash in Egypt is on top of a mountain. There is no way this technique is sound to accomplish getting 400 ton block not only up a pyramid but a mountain as well. The Egyptians moved stones up to 400 tons which would crush these wooden contraptions.
This is true, i`m going to re-post it at the top as the know it all`s seem to have skipped it, conveniently.
nice
The levitation could have been done with a flywheel circuit like Ed built, or possibly using a solid state version of this; the Ark of the covenant which was infact the exact dimension of a box found inside the kings chamber in Cheops. Obvious to me this ark was used in the queens chamber which was lined with gold to prevent radiation waves leaking out. The ground lead to water below all pyramids and also to the foot of the sphynx. Why? It's ion charge was healthy! people bathed to heal and energize. It's zero point energy just like the concentric ring walls used in Atlantis; the tournament players would stand in it's midst to regenerate in 1 hour as if they'd slept for 2 days.
That's not actually true. In the 1780's, the largest carved & moved stone in the world was transported from 6 kilometers to its current location in St. Petersburg, using a sled with rollers. 1500 tonnes, carved down to 1250 (some of the carving was done along the way).
It's all a matter of scale & persistence.
Helios77711 I would expect as much from you. Remember; if you're trying to call bullshit, bring some facts. I have many videos full of facts. What do you have? Nothing. You are what you do. I'm still waiting for a real comeback.
Wally is amazing and has really shown what a man can do if he really puts his mind to it. I do not think this is how coral castle was built. I don't think that Ed Leedskalnin used Wally's method and then wrote a book about magnetic current and built the flywheel, used geometry and planetary symbolism just to throw people off track.
What is gravity if not magnetic current?
I noticed the man turning the large concrete block did so while the ground beneath the block was a solid concrete slab. Try doing this on soft ground and see how well it works. I'll hazard a guess and say it won't.
Also, let's see how this was done with blocks the same size as those used in the trilathon at Baalbek. Over a 1000 tons each.
@anonymous it wasn’t debunked it’s what he used to make door swing.Nothing at that castle has been debunked.
This doesn't explain how he lifted the quarried coral out of the ground.
My understanding is He had the corral rocks delivered by trucks, and He would make the driver leave and when the driver would come back, the blocks would be unloaded.
@@ThisIsGonnaBFine I think this was just how the blocks were transported from his original site to the location it's in now. coral castle was originally located in the Florida City area but it was moved. it seems that Ed quarried the blocks himself from the bedrock using a large metal door, among other things. quite possibly the quarrying was done with some sort of sonic drilling/sawing and then it seems like he may have combined mechanical advantage (from pulleys and ratchets) with some kind of magnetic influence to lift and position the blocks
The problem with Wally's theory is that he only moves big rocks on prepared smooth surfaces. I'd like to see him move those huge rocks over rugged terrain and up and down inclined contours.
it is NOT hard to imagine that someone instead place stable ground to move the object a distance. you can also CHOOSE the path you take and avoid difficult terrain.
@@juanserrano8678 You gonna do that for a couple hundred miles?
The pyramid Abu Rowash in Egypt is on top of a mountain. There is no way this technique is sound to accomplish getting 400 ton block not only up a pyramid but a mountain as well. The Egyptians moved stones up to 400 tons which would crush these wooden contraptions.
In my opinion, there were 2 completely methods used by Ed. One to quarry the rocks using electromagnets to chisel and saw cut and remove the blocks from the ground (he could have used a donkey and treadmill to do the former)and used his tripod with winch to hoist the blocks free. Secondly, his technique to positioning the blocks in situ which involved zero gravity or acoustic levitation using Polaris as the North magnet and Saturn as the South. To steer the blocks he magnetised himself hence his lead shoes and the cones in his hands. As Ed himself said "It's easy if you know how."
What about the part where Edward had to move this entire structure TO Homestead? It was built else ware and then moved years later. This video doesn't prove anything
coral 'rock' is porous... while amazing, Wally was using concrete blocks... much harder, smoother surface for the 'pebble' to rest against. Coral rock has large divots and is softer. I'd be surprised if Ed could have used pebbles to move the large blocks. Perhaps, but it's harder for me to picture.
same here!
i bet it wont work for sure.. whats your point? i said i didn't belive ed used that method to build the coral castle either.. or did you missunderstand me? :)
ah.. ok now i understand :P sry.. i thought that u was thinking that i was claiming it would work.. hehe.. :)
Actually Ed used Oolite, not coral. It gets heavy after 12,000 years of silica bonding underwater. No debunker has of yet explained how the young boys 9yo could have mistakenly witnessed Ed moving a stone like a blimp. They said he had what appeared to be ice cream cones in his hands. Well infact they were conical coils used to project a grid zone of charge and were supplemental to the existing heavy ion mass displacement circuit which took me 2 years to reverse engineer, but it is done. The truck driver also returned after 30 minutes to find Ed had loaded a trailer with stones like a deck of cards. No heavy equipment, no tracks! Just that tripod with the mystery box on top. I discovered the box contained a 32 pole 12vac dynamo which was part of this 3 ground circuit used to split mass from energy.
best answer yet, MikeFromSpace :)) thank you... "perfect timing" x
This has nothing to do with Coral Castle and it's not how Coral Castle was built imo. The guy that built Coral Castle used electricity and some sort of flywheel system.
This is so stupid it hurts. Go to Egypt and move a three thousand ton block on pebbles. Not possible even if you had the perfect surface this Muppet used with his pebbles.
Why is it so difficult to accept that someone knows more than we do.
I'm reading comments for about 25 minutes and have to stop here, it's just the best one!
The only person that has the secret of Coral Castle is dead. This is a valiant effort, however, Ed Leedskalnin did all of his work at night and no one knows for sure.
Just to be clear "could have been built this way" and "mystery solved" don't go together. Yes, it COULD have been built this way, but it's a long, long way from conclusive evidence that it WAS built this way.
Let's have a big round of applause for Wally the construction worker who solved and proved how ancient megalithic structures were built WITHOUT space aliens, antigravity beams, nephelim, leprechauns or angels!!
Wouldn't it be a boring life without mysteries? Thank you Ed and everyone else who has left us with these fascinating wonders in life.
I thought Ed used the equipment photographed that you posted at the beginning of the video. Are you suggesting he moved 30 ton stones with a rock and a stack of 2"x4"s? (How did he get the 2"x4"s under a 30 ton stone?)
"The Coral Castle Could Have Been Built Just Like This."
"The Coral Castle Mystery: Has Just Been Solved."
Nope. "Could have been" suggests that it is only one way it might have happened. You haven't "solved" anything here. This was just a 7:39 waste of time.
sorry, i must have missed the bit where you lifted the eight tonne stone 25ft into the air and purched it on top of two monoliths.
The same way he do stand it up. Just pack the woods high enough until you reach the top of the monolith.
Ok.. Now Lets see him do it with a 30 ton piece of coral!
Using that method, the coral would break under its own weight. Also, this method has been disproven many times due to the fact that few blocks show scoring, drag marks, and many blocks lifted in Egypt would easily crush the wood they rested upon. Also, they are porous just like coral. That in itself is a tremendous clue.
30 ton coral is only about the size of a normal house. Lol that is frikin huge!!
Stonehenge, rocks originated from Ireland. If only the video can explain how they were moved from there to it's location in England.
Also it is said that during the move of Coral Castle from it's original location to the current, the owner had a truck brought over so he can transport the rocks. The driver left the truck but returned soon after because he forgot something. To his amazement he saw the truck already loaded with heavy blocks and no cranes or other machinery around.
It could be a story but...
You believe nobody can manipulate gravity and make those 30 ton stones weightless? Don't be so sure of that..
it doesn't explain how Ed could load a truck in few minutes with bare hands. Mystery not solved at all.
Personally, I think Ed used something like the Hutchison effect. There is the ability to effect an objects gravitation by adjusting a frequency perfect to the resonance of the object. Or, if you can create a "field" around an object by controlling the frequency resonance, theoretically you can easily adjust how gravity is effected on an object by turning a knob that will adjust it's frequency, or the frequency around it. Limitation is all in the mind.
NO IM AFRAID THE MYSTERY IS NOT SOLVED. ED USED DIFFERENT METHODS THAT MADE HIS JOB VERY EASY,
In a biography of Ed Leedscalen, it was said that Ed built the castle in the Fort Lauderdale area, and then moved it to Homestead. (So he lifted these huge stones more than once!) The flatbed drivers were never allowed to watch him load the truck, which only took a few minutes. I doubt if he was using a wooden tripod to do this and I'll bet that he didn't leave any worthwhile clues behind for the war mongers and evil idiots to learn from.
if you solved the mystery, why dont you go and build one?
This video proudly brought to you be your friendly CIA
+Chuck Brown Yeah a guy had the power to levitate 1000lb blocks but he only decides to build a stone garden with it. The story about him using magic levitation? Totally true. The idea that he could have done it with normal technology that has been in use for centuries? CIA cover up. Congratulations you're stupid as shit.
+Reverend Green the answers are all around the castle you idiot it requires a deeper level of understanding that you are just not capable of. "magic" Lmfao educate yourself before u speak
That was excellent , but it hardly answers all the mysteries of coral castle, pyramids, incas , ect.
very good. now i would like to know how the fuck can they make perfect edges and perfect hollowed out holes and perfectly cut round pillars and cut a perfect square hole far into a incredible hard stone with copper tools that can barely make a scratch on those damn things! because i saw nothing like that explained in this video ( or coral castle) either the ancients had way way better technology or something is up!
Have you heard of sand and water? Combine them with copper tools and cutting a drilling hard rock becomes dramatically easier
This doesn't explain how Leedskalnin moved MUCH heavier pieces in a SHORTER period of time, nor how he QUARRIED huge blocks of coral. I don't recall him claiming that Leedskalnin used these methods, but that is implied by the narrator. This video HARDLY explains the LEVEL of the magnificent feats required to build coral castle, though SOME of these methods may have been used.
To this day nobody knows how he did this period
Wishful thinking. Leedskalin was able to do a lot of this work in very short times. Mostly at night. He moved items a heck of a lot heavier than this man. He didn't have a concrete floor to "roll" things on. Nor did he have tons of lumber laying around to use as fulcrums and counterbalances. Nice try but no cigar.
+Richard Fsr Prove it. How do you know he did "a lot of work in very short times" when it took him years to build it?
+Reverend Green Two reasons. When he moved from his original location, the truck driver he hired stated that he would leave the truck at his place and come back in the morning and it was loaded with tons of blocks. And this occurred many times. And it didn't take him "years" to build it. Only when he decided to add to it after awhile.
Can you prove any of those claims? Of course not. Besides, loading some blocks onto a truck with no one watching you doesn't equal magical levitating powers. It's only mysterious because you weren't there to witness it.
How do you know he hadn't? Maybe he used them at night and concealed them in the day.
Please do some research. It took him 28 years to build it.
everyone talkin smack about this guy, i still think its pretty cool.
those bricks are no where near the size of Stonehenge, and let alone no where near the bricks on the pyramidz, and remember the Stonehenge and the pyramid bricks were carried from somewhere, and how did you get your bricks there , I bet you didn't carry them on stones getting them there?
He's one man doing it alone. Imagine how a group of men working together could accomplish more. And there are lots of pictures made by the Egyptians illustrating how the pyramids were made. We don't have to speculate about them.
there isn't loads of pictures at all, there more like layout plans that don't make sense, these pyramids aligned with the stars, the sun, the mathematics involed is flawless, where the edges aligned with razor edge precision, we cant do that today, and I believe they did have free energy, due to the water systems that were criss cossing under them, and just one of them blocks are like three times the size of houses, have you seen the spinx, the face is a mirror image literally of each side
Point is ordinarily you'd think one man could NOT move and stand up a 19,000 lb block, but he did it which proves it can be done. Now put in more people, more time and imagine what you could do. But people being what they are today would prefer to believe the mysterious rather than what they have just had proven as fact.
deebo sinclair Yes we can do it today, It's just that today we have impediments like Government and Unions.....Lol.
yeah we could do it to a point but with machinery, but as you know the Egyptians may well have had machinery themselves
There was no need to lift the stone first before standing it up right. While the stone laid on the ground, mark the halfway point, place extra weight on one side, dig the earth away under the other side, get out of the hole, release the weights, and bam....
Coral castle was built with nothing more than mechanical advantage. Nothing he did was impossible, he just had knowledge in pulleys and gear reduction. We already know this is how he did it, people are just confused by what he accomplished using only compound pulleys and gearboxes. The damn crane is still there on display.
I will say this, if you manage so much with so little, that people think its witchcraft, then a damn fine job you did :)
the secret to move the rocks is to play them Stevie Wonder and have them dance into position : )
Great demo of human ingenuity.
Stiil not Leedskalnin's technique.
So - Nice try but not quote. Some of Ed's blocks were raised 20 ft or more on top of other blocks.
Leeskalnin loaded hauling strucks with his blocks in 30 minutes by himself. No way this guys techniques could have worked for that.
Whatever. We shall figure it our sooner or later.
;)
Great post thanks. Since coral rock is not magnetic, and since no one can, "switch gravity off"; it looks like the real winner is, "human ingenuity and hard work." Makes me feel proud to be human.
*facepalm*
its adorable that [probably american/christian] people like you think that gravity cannot be manipulated. it is a field of force like any other. youve fallen into the classic trap of stopping a newtonian physics to define your reality. pickup a book on quantum mechanics and you'll see that some very "solid" newtonian principles are actually nothing more than illusion.
take a nonmagnetic nail and rub a magnet across it several times. when you have lined up the polarity of enough atoms in the same direction, the nail itself will have magnetic properties. While this is not the same thing, it goes to show that fields are fields and can be manipulated.
Coral rock however does respond to the piezo-electric effect. And your welcome.
In the state in which we observe it...open your mind up to the possibility that in some state, because it its made of a material that possess positive and negatively charged ions, it could in some state become magetized...dont think because you have learned a scientific principle you can apply it ubiquitously, that is not true understanding just regurgitation
Greg Jones Are you suggesting that if someone believes that a blue collar worker from the 1940's used the same methods as the man from Flint instead of some theoretical quantum philosophy, then that someone is close-minded? I see in this video someone using ingenuity and engineering to accomplish the same sort of task as the man who made Coral Castle. That would suggest that bringing quantum issues into this puzzle might be over-thinking things and that a judicious use of Occam's razor might be beneficial.
In Peru, the stones are not only heavy, but pillow shaped and interlocking. Some of them weigh 120 tons and others are 6 feet thick. A human hair will not pass between them. So, just being able to move a block doesn't explain the rest.
Cocaine is a hell of a drug...
Nothing is solved. At least in this video
WOW WOW WOW it always AMAZES how some people brains work different then others and figures such interesting things out....very awesome!!
I have loaded and unloaded a building onto truck that way when I was 17, but I have also pulled up, and adjusted the tension on several cable suspension bridges, using leavers, by hand, the tension on the cable is north of 40 tons. (Blackshale creek, near Kananaskis, Alberta, Kelowna Mountain)
Has this guy ever hung a precisely balanced 10 ton rotating door?
PMH?
There is no way this video answers any profound question with regards to Coral Castle or Mr Leedskalnin.
Moving massively heavy stones may be possible across the ground using rollers, etc. BUT that doesn't explain how they were lifted and placed upon one another at great heights.
Pouring concrete into a mold is not the same as cutting limestone out of a mountain.
His device puts the "B" field of the magnet into the earth then he extracts from the out side spinning wheel a pulse from the magnets. This is set to a frequency to disrupt the molecules in the rock making it easy to cut.
I agree Bobbi, I certainly never thought of this method! My hat is off to this fellow!
It's a good theory, but inconsistent with how Coral Castle was built. No such apparatuses were ever discovered on the property, and the guy in this video has a rather elaborate setup.
The creator of Coral Castle would unload the giant blocks from the trucks and build entire structures within one night, making the new addition complete by morning.
Notice this guy did not mention how long it took him to construct 1 arch. Also to dig the hole and place it etc... is very elaborate.
Again, good theory, but highly unlikely to be the actual method.
So, the 19,000 lb. block is only a third of the weight of the 30 ton block at coral castle. This guy lifted his block 3 ft., so that would mean the guy at coral castle would have to lift his block up approximately 9 ft. Following the process the guy did in the video, a person would run the risk of fracturing the stone and they would have to start over. Also, we don't exactly find petrified wood in Egypt, which should be present considering how much wood they would need to build something thousands of time greater then these little side projects. Physics definitely played a role in the creation of the megaliths, but it is still very questionable as to which physics.
One thing they didn't tell you is that he moved all this from the original site to where it is now by night using trucks. The trucker was not allow to be there when it was loaded and unloaded.
I admire this guy's dedication to spinning and lifting stones around with sticks and gravity but i doubt thats how the Coral Castle was built... First of all this dude probably had the blocks pre-order cut, he didnt carve and morph them himself and secondly, its all cool and well when he spins and lifts them when they are mounted to the proper sticks and contraptions but how does he even get the blocks on these contraptions in the first place?
So you just do it in 3ft steps, right?
In any case, he only stopped at that height because that's all he needed - with a small team working at it (a bunch of guys stood on top holding stone weights, another one or two at the bottom to shove in shoring-blocks and extend the guide planks as the first group walked back and forth...), you could easily use that method to raise a block of that weight 10ft or more in an hour.
With few exceptions, the objects are made from single pieces of stone that weigh on average 15 short tons (14 t) each. The largest stone weighs 30 short tons (27 t) and the tallest are two monoliths standing 25 ft (7.6 m) each.
You may beg to differ; however, in 1722 when the first European, (Dutch), landed on Easter Island, there were two types of humans: the short ears and the long ears. The short ears were like us. The long ears were 12 feet tall. Sailors talked of walking between their legs. The captain and the sailors of the Dutch ship witnessed the long ears floating the statues into place. It is a real technology that allows gravity to be thwarted. Research will render amazing facts.
Not likely. Notice how Wallington can only move blocks on a flat concrete surface with a rock under it. Also, there is the fact that Ed Leedskalnin dismantled and moved all the blocks of his castle onto a truck by himself in less than a day in order to relocate at another location. Very unlikely Wallingtons method could move as many blocks with one man in an afternoon. Your theory is busted
black box is a battery power supply for electromagnet, as he mention some box with power in his book. And it might be he also uses magnet holder mentioned in the book to grip the block
Whatabout those rocks that are larger than freight trains? One of the problems with obelisks is that they often broke under their own weight. Which means that they had to be supported very carefully the whole way thru. Setting them on pivots or fulcrums would have broken them.
The mystery of the gate's perfectly balanced axis and the ease with which it revolved lasted for decades until it stopped working in 1986. In order to remove it, six men and a 50-short-ton (45 t) crane were used. Once the gate was removed, the engineers discovered how Leedskalnin had centered and balanced it. He had drilled a hole from top to bottom and inserted a metal shaft.
A 9-short-ton (8.2 t) revolving 8-foot tall gate is a famous structure of the castle, documented on the television programs In Search of... and That's Incredible! The gate is carved so that it fits within a quarter of an inch of the walls. It was well-balanced, reportedly so that a child could open it with the push of a finger.
Not a viable explanation: it was a long, slow job for Wallington to raise his stone block about 3 feet. Ed was raising blocks much higher, moving them horizontally, & positioning them - OVERNIGHT. Ed was working in the dark to boot; he had a very slight build, but Wally is a large man.
Maybe not the choice of music I`d have used for this type of video but damn I`m so glad you did. Stevie Wonder - Very Superstitious , had me dancing around my kitchen whilst cooking. Cheers Ricky mate, you get a big thumbs up from me.
Man so many people who want to believe in space magic. Physics is physics, the size of the weight of the blocks doesn't make a bit a difference. As for carving, there is a reason its called Coral Castle, its made out of coral, not rock. Coral is just calcium carbonate, you can dissolve it with common household acids. It wouldn't be difficult to cut or carve at all.
NO! the Coral Castle was not built with rocks and sticks. the stones were removed from trucks in the middle of the night so it only took him minuets or at the most an hour. rocks and sticks would have taken him days. and there's a story about some kids who said they saw him moving the stones from a truck with what looked icecream cones which fits with the theory's of pyramid power in some way. and Viktor S. Grebennikov and his work with bee hives with cone shaped structures and his flying platform that used bug wings that he later discovered had a cone shaped structure to them. so sorry I don't believe in the rocks and stick theory. it's more likely he used sound like the Tibetans have been said to use.
Hand tools can cut coral, it is not a hard stone. You can take sand and a bronze untoothed saw blade and rub it over and over again using friction like you would a drill and slice coral or Granite. Heck water erodes stone over time too, Calcium Carbonate which most coral is made of can be dissolved with acids But you will notice in the pictures that Ed had a multi-loop chain hoist, Doesn't take much energy to hoist tons of auto engines with one, or Fell trees, or Move things by hand.
No one ever saw a large lumber yard or complex wooden structures for use with that technique. Plus pivot trick doesn't work on soft ground.
It wasn't accomplished overnight, he asked that the stones be delivered on a flatbed truck and both the truck and coral block be left overnight, the driver would return in the morning and the stone was in place...if you think you have discovered this secret...build one, just like he did.
What this gentleman has done is very creative, but I don't believe it fully explains the way Coral Castle was built.
I would 100 percent agree with you.Coral Castle remains a mystery.
This video shows how one can move heavy blocks around on the ground and stand one on end but it doesn't show how one can raise it off the ground and place a heavy block on top of another.
This was solved years ago. The rocks are hollow. Anybody could lift any one of them with one finger.
Why look for a more complicated explanation?
He's moving objects on a hard cement surface. I would like to see this done on the ground.
I have visited Coral Castle, inverviewed the curator and visited his old homestead where the Coral Castle was originally constructed. I believe that Ed used high pressure water to cut and move the coral. There is a letter from a gentleman in the Coarl Castle that tells about him going to buy some coral from Ed. Ed instructed him to back his truck behind a large bush and walk to the front of his truck. When Ed called him, the huge coarl piece was on his truck and it was soaking wet.
Further -correlation does not imply causation, i.e., Coral Castle Solved?, not so much. Rudimentary manual megalithic movement has been long known, and it certainly played some part at CC, but simply because you, by one method are able to accomplish a task, does NOT guarantee, nor even imply that the same task was achieved thusly by others.
Coral castle was moved by the builder after it was first built and the truck driver waited around the front of the truck while he would put the blocks on his truck . So ?
The ancient Egyptian artifacts in the Cairo museum contain an artifact labeled as a "lotus flower pot" . This item looks as if it were meant to spin on a machine. When the item was replicated by a group of scientists for testing, it was spun at high rpm. The results were astonishing. The "lotus flower pot" created two parralel sound frequencies . What is the significance? When two frequencies are projected parallel to each other, they create an anti-gravity field in the middle of the two sound waves. "Lotus flower pot?" More like coverup...
you need to account for many variables that don't match up between the retired construction worker and coral castle. scientifically it is not enough evidence to account for every feat that the coral castle displays. You don't account for odd angles and multi layered structures which are perfectly balanced and symmetrical, they have also withstood the test of time and extreme weather like the hurricanes that south Florida gets. Lastly, we are just starting to understand electromagnetism's relation to gravity and the two forces can directly affect and cancel each other out. We can already levitate objects with mercury and liquid nitrogen as well as dry ice. It is not a far stretch to think that anti gravity is possible.
We know from the photo evidence that he used tripods with pulleys or tackleblocks. WE also know that it was important for him to have a source of water at his two sites. WE also know he used a small hand cranked generator. I believe he used the generator to pump water into a tank or two tanks used as counterweights to lift the objects. One tripod on each side of the block to be lifted, pump water into the tanks, block lifts, pump more into one tank, block goes to that side so sideways movement
Ed, He dug and cut his own stones, since you (solved) the mystery, tell us how he cut and lifted and transported and set a 30 ton stone?? not once but a few times and then moved the whole completed site to a different site. He knew something that is for sure.
that's funny cuz I always moved refrigerators or other heavy furniture by leaning on it, twisting it, spinning it on he opposite side it move the length of the base pretty much.
You can even wiggle it through door like that. The guy discovered balance that is all.
If it was something really heavy I just lean it, put a towel under it, and spin it, no marks on the floor anything moves. So all he really needed the pulley for was to lean and spin stuff. Enough pulleys will pull any weight up.
Ed said with his knowledge of how he built the coral castle you could "leave earth, travel to Pluto, come back in TIME for dinner, and have More energy when you got back than what you left with....." this guy did NOT solve how the coral castle was built. Not even close.
