i loved that show so much. i actually made several 6 hour VHS tapes of it during the 90s so i could marathon all those mysteries whenever i got bored. sadly almost all of those mysteries have been fully debunked in this day and age. however the mystery of Coral Castle still remains. nobody knows how one man designed built then moved an entire castle without using heavy machinery.Unwatchable show, though I love everything else Rogan does.
I miss Leonard Nimoy's "In Search of". Now THAT was entertaining...
he also cut those out of the ground, shaped them, built his castle with them then single handed moved all those stones ten miles to a new location and set things up again. that massive stone door with the perfect balance is a wonder all its own. im often surprised TV shows rehash the same old bullshit, bigfoot, space aliens, loch ness, area 51 but they never look into coral castle. either its just not big enough a mystery or its too unexplainable.When I built trails several years ago the more experienced crew members could move rocks up to half a ton with nothing but their bodies, and up to a full ton or more using a lever and fulcrum.
I have no idea how he moved rocks larger than that or how he lifted tonnes of weight off the ground without equipment. But moving small and medium sized boulders is pretty damned easy if you know what you're doing.
For example:
Everything in that picture can be moved by what I just described.
^ That is fucking impressive, and about the limit of what is possible based on what I've seen first hand.
I don't know what the fuck. How did he do that by himself?
It isn't a mystery becausethey never look into coral castle. either its just not big enough a mystery or its too unexplainable.
Don't be an idiot. What it shows is that he used mechanical advantage to move blocks and that is surely not the only piece of gear he rigged up. Also, saying "18000" pounds makes it sound much worse than it really is. That is only 9 tons. He did lumberjacking, where moving trees of much greater size is often necessary.thats an amazing block and tackle. can lift an 18000 pound stone and balance it to perfection under another 18000 pound stone.
Do yourself a favor and watch the video khalid posted a few posts above.You are saying aliens and anti gravity. Im saying the crude methods you say he used to cut, shape and move around these 9 ton massive stones all by himself doesnt sound realistic considering modern day technology cant duplicate his feats with just one man. Basically the dude was some kind of genius ahead of his time and ours.
NO, why do you keep saying that? It directly contradicts the information I JUST FUCKING HANDFED YOU. You can duplicate that shit, using block and tackle and levers and fulcrums, with one man, someone just isn't going to go out of their way to show you because it is a pain in the ass (though fucking check the video I linked).considering modern day technology cant duplicate his feats with just one man. Basically the dude was some kind of genius ahead of his time and ours.
