UNKNOWN: Coral Castle

On the edge of the everglades in Florida sits Coral Castle. Consisting of eleven hundred and ten tons of massive coral, it was built single-handedly by Latvian immigrant Ed Leedskalnin. His unknown process created one of the world’s most mysterious feats. When asked how he did it, Ed only ever hinted that the answer was “all there in ancient Egyptian texts.” Ultimately Ed took the secret with him to his grave. As to why it was built, it all began with a broken heart.
