puzzled over how Leedskalnin, who only had a fourth-grade education,
constructed Coral Castle by himself. He reportedly did all of the
work in the dark of night, in order to keep his secrets.” –

While
visiting Coral Castle, during the winter solstice of 2005, the
intention was to investigate the entire site in search
for any clues of how the building process was accomplished. The
reason for the trip to Coral Castle, out of all the great sites in a
reasonable distance, Edward Leedskalnin is the only person in our
modern era to claim he knew how the pyramids in Egypt were

(1). At the time in 2005 there wasn’t as much information
available on the internet but whatever could be located was taken
into consideration before the trip. There were quite a few theories
on how he accomplished his mysterious building methods but no one has
yet to actually demonstrate how it was done
from beginning to end. Some have attempted on a smaller level but
still to this day not one single person has accomplished the building
feats on the scale of Coral Castle.
