EP 31: The Mystery of Coral Castle


Listen Later

The mystery of Coral Castle.

It's time for another mystery! Tom brings us the tale of Coral Castle, a strange and mysterious structure in Florida built over a period of 28 years by the reclusive Edward Leedskalnin. 

Legends abound over how Leedskalnin carved and constructed the over 1,100 tonnes of limestone that make up the castle, was it reverse magnetism? Magic? Aliens? All we know for sure is that the castle and its surrounds were built by just one man, with no major tools, vehicles or electricity. 

Tom guides us through some of the impressive aspects of the castle, including the mystery of how some individual rocks - some as heavy as 15 tonnes each - were moved into place by one man.
