A semi-biographical story of Ed Leedskalnin, the magnetism researcher and single-handed sculptor of the mysterious 'Coral Castle' in Florida. Ed claimed that he knew "the secret of the Great Pyramid". // Everyone is amazed how Coral Castle, made from 1,100 tons of massive, jagged coral stone, could be constructed by one lone man, using only crude hand tools. The average weight of the stones used in the construction of Coral Castle is greater than those used in the Great Pyramid of Giza. Additionally, several of the stones used are taller than those found in Stonehenge in England. Even more amazing is that many of the huge stones are sculpted to form rocking chairs and doors, balanced to such a precise degree, that even a small child can pivot them.

Ed was also an innovator and magnetism researcher. He built the worlds only 'Moon Dial' (a dial that uses the Moons light, rather than the Suns, to show the time at night). His magnetism experiments resulted in the invention of an incredibly simple, yet extremely efficient, magnetic current generator, that was able to provide all of his energy needs for free. Listen to the enhanced bizarre story of this most unusual man and his fantastic creations.
