This Renowned 100-Year-Old 'Coral Castle' is Still a MYSTERY to Many | NBC 6 South Florida

South Florida’s Coral Castle was built in Homestead a century ago but remains a mystery to many. See how and why the renowned monument was made.

[@ryhol5417]

It’s more of a story about how if you minded your own business, worked hard, and limited what you share with nosy neighbors, you used to be able to live a nice quiet life

[@freddell7358]

Ed built it as pretty much what it is now, a roadside tourist attraction. That explains why he moved it , to be on the main road people would drive through. It's incredible he built it all by himself but doable for a guy like Ed, who understood how to work with stone and move very heavy objects. He was a very patient man for sure

[@mirandarights9635]

When I visited years ago, I bought a small book that tells the tale. Ed built his castle for his "Sweet Sixteen". A young woman he was courting only to have her abandon him. Coral Castle is Ed's letter to his Sweet Sixteen. 💔💔💔

@@mirandarights9635. This is what they say .but the truth is . No1 helped him or seen him do it . He worked at nite on his own. Nothing to do with his women I don't think . More a tease for the modern man . To get there head around. You can't tell me he was still cut up about a girl 50 years later and that was still his drive. Can't see it myself.

@guagua70 water and electric mix . Neutralizes the weight of the stone . Like a magnetic charge that comes from the water flow and the gearing from crane .makes the coral weightless.all of Egypt was done thru transportation of stones thru water and once there the subterranean chamber and the water tide creates anti gravity

[@tonylarge5298]

ok, there is too much missing. He built this castle for a women that he loved and she never showed up. He had a quarry and there are photos of him with a truck to move the blocks of "Rock". were they coral? Is there such a thing as coral quarry? How could he put a 15 T stone on that old 2T truck bed? That truck would not support that load of 30,000 lbs. Who saw him do it? How did he move the rock off the truck and into the yard? You would have to have floodlights to work at night in that quarry. At the castle he supposedly used a tall tripod of metal or wood legs to lift the stone. Moving that thing around would be a massive job.There was a pic of the tripod with a black box on top of the tripod supposedly it generated sound to lift an object. He was supposed to know how pyramids were built but never let on. the impressive thing is that a 12 T gate could be pushed open with your fingertip. yes, a real mystery! On my bucket list!

[@Thunderrolls]

The power of a determined man's will is an unstoppable force. Society represses the urges of men. That is why great men like the constructor of the Coral Castle sublimate their intense urges. In his case, this originated in heartbreak. To create, for men, is to call out for something, for anything true and beautiful. Then finally one day, these tragic men leave behind mysterious, improbable wonders in their wake. Creation is merely an outlet for a man's suffering. In the dark night of his pain, he withdraws, goes to work at making the impossible possible. Such sublime creations of men are their way of escape. These works are a man's search for some sense of control, after having his spirit obliterated by that stupefying chaos, that incomprehensible nature, that a man is left with after succeeding, yet somehow, still failing, to give a woman what she says she wants. In that dragon-battle of satisfying the decadent lusts of a potential paramour, you, as a mere mortal man, are confronted with a baffling, monstrous force that rides behind a tsunami of pure capricious sollipsism: a woman who knows you like her. An infinite loop of getting shut down no matter how much you give. You learn so painfully slowly that the only thing that a man can never attain, the harder he tries to reach it, is... a woman's love. And so, Coral Castle is simply one man's refuge from this chaos emotion. It is his symbolic triumph over nature, physics, and reality. An attempt to retry that failed romance. To redo that search for beauty. But this time, within a system of meaning that actually makes sense! In creating beautiful things, a man atrempts to discover triumph and truth in an object, in nature, in a world of logic, in the clarity of cause and effect, which, to him in his lonely turmoil, is like a charity left to him by the universe. It is a gift, to create. So, creating beautiful things is a translation of pain. And sadly, for most men on this earth, to create is also to know that truth can only be beautiful in the things made by their own hands... I say, don't let them flatten your spirits: nourish your intense libidos, men, and construct immense things of beauty. The depth of suffering that only you will know, that melancholic solitude of being a man, is a resource of energy that will fuel you to make possible the impossible. For you, man, creating is the only beauty you can will into truth.

all these people are rambling lies, like the girlfriend part too, that wasnt true, she was no one, he was actually a creep and said it was for a girl who was 16 when he was like 35 at the time and continued saying this his whole life, theres proof by neighbors.

[@chuckdavinci9044]

@@Seanysaurus "When asked why he had built the castle, Leedskalnin would vaguely answer it was for his "Sweet Sixteen". This is widely believed to be a reference to Agnes Skuvst (often misspelled as "Scuffs"). In Leedskalnin's own publication A Book in Every Home, he implies his "Sweet Sixteen" was more an ideal than a reality. According to a Latvian account, the girl existed, but her name was actually Hermīne Lūsis." The guy was clearly a fraud. The original name of the castle was "Rock Gate," it was listed as such until 2011, and the gate was the only thing mysterious about the whole thing until it broke and was disassembled for repairs, revealing that it was on a truck wheel bearing, not mysteriously weightless as he claimed, and they renamed the place after the mystery turned out to be a hoax. Now it's a corporation and only interested in profit, but there's no mystery except why anyone would want a castle built of sedimentary rocks.

[@trilliontrillion8087]

I think it was because of the earths megnetic force plus the force of the full moon , that's why he did it at night , and it depends on the earths geo lines and magnetic force in that area ,also the make up of the corral itself I'm certain this is why he could move them so easy . It was probably like putting two magnets close to each other whatever is in the middle will float .he probably used the earths megnetic force times the moons megnetic force and the makeup of the coral to move them easily.
