Coral Castle

[mead]

I have my own theories but wanted to see what others here thought about how Ed Leedskalnin built this and then moved the entire thing by himself.

Don't know how he did it, but that knowledge cost him his life.

How did it cost him his life? He died in the hospital, he had stomach cancer. He decided to move the castle after he was beaten up but lived at least 3 years after that, I think thats how long it took him to move it all. One day there was a sign on the door stating 'Gone to the hospital' and he never came home.

It is one of those most interesting things, many think they know but really don't.

Mizz, stomach cancer is rather uncommon in the US. While it is possible that it's just random, I think it more likely that he over exposed himself to the forces he used to move the stones during his last move and it messed with his body.

It could have been the forces he exposed himself to for help or maybe technology? He had always stated that he knew how the egyptians built the pyramids.

If thats true OO, then my family is rather unusual as are the umpteen hundreds that I know who have it now. I know that from the mid-40's to the mid-60's we had at least one member of either my dads side or moms side die with it and I know that after we moved from the family many more died of some kind of cancer. My father had stomach and bladder cancer and my grandmother died of it, so not so rare. Whatever he used to move those stones could have caused the cancer, I do know the man was gravely ill once before and proclaimed to have been cured by magnets, he never said where the those came from though, which is interesting in itself.

I believe he had the same technology the ancients had. Here you have a guy that was around 5'2" tall and 120 lbs. soaking wet moving stones that weighed between 10 to 35 tons a piece. Maybe knowledge of geometry and magnetics handed down to him. He had a box at the top of the tripod he used that no one ever found after he passed. So you got to wonder how he did this by himself, twice. Of course, there were no mind boggling astronomical and mathmatical alignments that the ancients used that we can't even duplicate today. It's not hard to fathom once you consider the carvings found in the temple of Abydos in Egypt that date back around 3000 years ago, but I could be wrong. Who knows what was truly in the library of Alexandria or what knowledge was written down and carried by Noah on the boat other than animals. I could be wrong, but I believe he knew the same secrets they used and just like Nikola Tesla, his ideas and proven theories that could have provided clean and renewable energy among other things were erased from our mainstream knowledge...sad. Anyone?

Mizz, webmd is where I saw that it was rare in the US. It isn't in Japan or a couple of other places, so if your family is plagued with it it's evern more unusual.

Oh come on now, surely some of you well educated and traveled scholars have an opinion?

It has been proven that he cured himself of tuberculosis. So, where do you think his knowledge with these magnets came from?
