Leedskalnin

Investigative journalist Joe Bullard returned to discuss the mysteries surrounding Florida's Coral Castle and its creator Ed Leedskalnin. The Castle and its gardens feature thousands of tons of coral rock that Leedskalnin, a frail man who weighed just 100 pounds, carved into artistic yet functional objects such as tables and chairs, a sundial and a huge perfectly balanced gate. While he made and moved these objects in secret, he claimed he used the same technology that the Egyptians built the pyramids with.

Leedskalnin said he built Coral Castle for his lost love Agnes who jilted him back in Latvia, but Bullard suggested that this tale might have been a cleverly disguised cover story for hiding his secret knowledge and scientific achievements. When Leedskalnin was in a hospital in 1951, shortly before his death, thieves stole some of his tools. Bullard believes this might have been a planned confiscation.

Leedskalnin left a message over his bedroom at the site: THE SECRET OF THE UNIVERSE IS 7129/6105195. One caller said that was the number from Leedskalnin's federal application for citizenship; another caller related the number to the "golden ratio." Bullard's book Waiting for Agnes, a fictionalized account of the Coral Castle story, incorporates the lore of Atlantis and the Bermuda Triangle into the plot.

Joe Bullard was born in Florida in 1951. He attended the University of West Florida and graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Journalism in 1974. He found out about the Coral Castle on the television series called "In Search Of" in September of 1984. During this time he was working at Lake City Community College as Public Information Director and Professor of a newspaper class. Joe spent 10 years of research at Coral Castle and started writing "Waiting for Agnes" in February of 1995. It took him five years to get the story on paper and almost four years to publish it.

@ BRAHMA:

I mentioned this book in an earlier post.  I heard an interview with the author on coast to coast am.  He did a lot of research but, not as scientific as it was more a personal interest story.  But still, he brought out a lot of interesting facts that are, to this day, hard to explain.  I believe that Ed knew more than we still know of today. What that is will have to be determined.

Hi all....as far as i know there never was any plaque...just the numbers which can be seen here...

Also...Ed never built the place for Agnes....that would mean he did all the work for a 16 yo girl who was out getting a red face with a fresh boy....and that would be shameful.
Ed never had a girl because he knew it would produce certain effects that he did not want.

The Leedskalnin story is quite interesting and not quite as far fetched as it sounds. Basically you have a guy who went to the middle of nowhere and spent many years doing experiments from first principles with an open mind (not previously indoctrinated by science). That sounds like a recipe for eventually learning something.  see url

The major key I think we have is why else would we find the strange artifacts there. (The bottles with wire wrap and the photo with the tripod and box at the top). A builder often leaves his tools lying around. Also, somehow I don't think he wrote a book called "Magnetic current" just as a joke.


BTW, Scotty your web page is great, I've also seen some of your videos before and I applaud your efforts and thanks for sharing them. Great work with the wheel replica, keep us updated.
