What if I told you that, here in America (Florida, to be a
little more precise), a man built a castle all on his own? No, no, not a sand castle, though I’ve seen
some pretty epic ones. No, this man
built a whole, entire castle of coral rock (oolitic limestone) which a little
man of the name of Ed Leedskalnin built over the span of 28 years.

But how did this man do it?
After all, we’re not talking about small tiny pieces of coral that one
can place in a home aquarium. These rocks
average 27 tons with the largest one reaching 27 tons.
People claim that Leedskalnin used some unknown technology
involving levitation or antigravity. Others that he was able to manipulate his
own chi (life energy) to lift those blocks up.
Some claimed that he sang the songs into place.
But what did the man himself say?
“I have discovered the secrets of the pyramids, and have
found out how the Egyptians and the ancient builders in Peru, Yucatan, and
Asia, with only primitive tools, raise and set in place blocks of stone
weighing many tons!”
And it had something to do with celestial alignments,
measurements, and electromagnetism. . .
Granted, no one was able to corroborate the fact, as he only
worked at night. But I have my own
theory on that: in truth, the man was
the origin of the Hulk (aka Mr. Hyde), and that’s why he could only work at night! I say, I rather like my hypothesis!
