during my past few months of personal growth and discovery i've come across a few writings and research that's really peaked heavy intellectual discussion amongst my friends and i. one man recently stood out above the rest and further inquires into his writings and his work has only sparked more interest and discussion topics.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, raised and set in place blocks of stone weighing many tons!
---Edward Leedskalnin
his name was Edward Leedskalnin.
Edward Leedskalnin was born Jan 12th 1887 in Riga, Latvia. you can read more about him and his works in the links i've listed below. what originally peaked my interest into Ed's work was his standing monument to his ingenuity, craftsmanship and superior intellect: his coral castle.
from Wikipedia.com:
let me restate that last sentence for added effect: TO THIS DAY NOT ONE PERSON HAS EVER FIGURED OUT HOW HE WAS ABLE TO SHAPE, MOVE AND CONSTRUCT THE NUMEROUS MEGALITHIC STONES FROM WHICH HIS CASTLE IS BUILT. not one single person. when asked how he managed to shape, move and arrange the enormous blocks of limestone Ed would simply say that he had "learned the secrets of the pyramids." everything in his castle is made from giant blocks of limestone (his two story living quarters, his furniture, his numerous sculptures in the courtyard, etc.) with no mortar or cement to hold it all together. nobody ever even SAW him do it! imagine constructing a castle using nothing but simple hand tools on a couple million pounds of limestone and having not one eyewitness report.After contracting a case of tuberculosis, Leedskalnin moved to the warmer climate of Florida around 1919, where he purchased a small piece of land in Florida City. Over the next 20 years, Leedskalnin putatively constructed and lived within a massive coral monument he called "Rock Gate Park", dedicated to the girl who had left him years before. Working alone at night, Leedskalnin, who weighed less than 100 lb (45 kg), eventually quarried and sculpted over 1,100 short tons (1,000 t) of coral into a monument that would later be known as the Coral Castle. Leedskalnin gave polite, but cryptic answers to visitors' questions regarding his construction methods, which to this day remain a mystery.
from Cracked.com:
the facts: now, most of what his neighbors say is probably complete and utter bullshit but it did intrigue me enough to read more. following his written work i was able to see that Ed had a very unique understanding of how magnetic properties work. the more of his work you read, the more you'll WANT to read. as this is just a general overview to pique your interest i'll save most of the higher brain reading for those of my fellow psychonauts who are interested enough in Ed's work to do their own research. suffice it to say: if you don't have a greater understanding of physics and magnetism you're going to need to do A LOT of back reading lol. enjoy the knowledge, there's a lot of it to go aroundNeighbors say they witnessed Edward placing his hands on the rocks, chanting and causing them to levitate; local teenagers claim to have seen him flying the blocks like hydrogen balloons; and some even believe Edward may have discovered the very key to the Universe.
