interferring with the big picture plan - correction

[Guest guest]

Sorry about that; at the end of my message to you with the above subject I

listed a web site address which was invalid. Try this instead:

 

http://www.crystalinks.com/coralcastle.html

 

I found this address via google, using the search terms:

" coral castle " balance

 

There is both text and pictures at the site. Talk about a mystery!

I'd enjoy hearing your feedback.

Rich:

 

I watched a program on television about Coral Castle and Edward Leedskalnin, and

I

must admit, it's pretty fascinating. I suppose the only way we are going to

figure out how he created and built his amazing castle and its acoutrements

would

be to talk to Edward ;-)

 

His claim was, that he had discovered the secrets to magnetic levitation and

leverage that had been used to build the pyramids and other " impossible "

engineering projects of ancient times. He chose his materials and the location

specifically, worked alone, often at night, with minimal tools (it is said he

actually put tools around to fool people into thinking he was using them).

Since

he never married and had no children (he dedicated the castle to his unrequited

love interest, " Sweet Sixteen " ) he never shared his secrets and had a knack for

knowing when he was being spied on, which was a perpetual hobby of the curious

;-)

 

One of the things that was most amazing to me on the program about his castle

was

a revolving stone gate that rotated on a central axis (there is a picture of it

around the middle of the page you sent), which moved smoothly and freely within

a

stone doorway as he placed it; but after some sort of accident (probably related

to tourism) it was damaged, it took a crew of people to remove the door and

replace it ... and it's never moved the same way since.

 

Blessings,

Crow
