When I last visited the Coral Castle in Homestead Florida, I came into the same complex that I always have.
I saw that nothing had been changed.
After all, it is hard to move 1100 tons of stone as if it is living room furniture.
But, a friend of mine told me that there is an attraction there, a secret that very few people know about which adds to the mystery of Edward Leedskalnin and the Coral Castle.
When you first walk into the Coral Castle, you will be met with the 3 ton gate.
It is a triangular piece of support all this perfectly balanced so that a small child using their pinky can push it around.
To the left, you will see Ed's reading room and also the north wall.
If you walk to the north wall, you will see a star shaped chair.
This six pointed star is seen throughout the Coral Castle in many places.
It is seen over what is purportedly Ed's bath tub.
It is seen in the Moon fountain that is near the 30 ton stone and the Crown.
It is seen in the children's area called the Grotto of the three Bears.
And it is also seen at the top of the obelisk which stands over 30 feet high.
What is interesting is that Ed was asked if he was Jewish.
This symbol resembled to some people the star David.
Some people have said that it is the Latvian star and that is why Ed used it throughout the castle area.
To guess, Edward replied that he was not Jewish and that the reason he used the six pointed star was because it is a geometric figure that is commonly found in nature.
In the work of Richard Hoagland, the six pointed star plays a major role in what is called hyper dimensional physics.
This star is actually two tetrahedrons superimposed so that if there points touch on the outside of the sphere it creates a three-dimensional representation of the star that is seen throughout this coral masterpiece.
Although the 9 ton gate, which is arguably the most famous aspect of the Coral Castle, no longer moves as it once did because the ball bearings of the gear set that allowed it to rotate were damaged years ago, symbology within the Coral Castle remains intact and provides a clue to how this amazing structure was made.
Like the Mayan culture, a civilization that created megalithic structures, yet had no wheel, one wonders how Ed was able to blocks of coral that weighed in excess of 30 tons without the use of modern cranes or equipment.
We may never know the mystery of the secret of this megalithic structure created in the state of Florida.
This one secret, the six pointed star, may play a large role in how the Coral Castle was created over seventy years ago.
