Coral Castle Unsolved Mystery Contest
To wrap your head around this is a hassle.
The mystery I am talking about is Coral Castle.
This is a place in some of your backyards in the USA.
It is located in Miami Florida, right off the bay.
Most of you don't know about this place under the suns.
It is about one man, who by himself, moved 1,100 tons.
He made it into a great castle and all of this is true.
He moved all of it and carved it all too.
There were no machines and no one helped this man.
Scientists, archeologists, and architects can't figure out his plan.
He had 3 wooden poles forming a pyramid or tepee,
with a black box at the top, and inside it was the key.
Over 28 years he created this masterpiece without any sounds.
You think its a long time, but one tiny man can't move 2.2 million pounds.
If you have a chance and visit here, you'll be in an amazed state.
You'll walk up to it and with one finger, push open its 9 ton gate.
There are no hinges or bolts, no one knows how it moves.
This alone says its a great mystery, that no science proves.
When he was finished and moved his last giant crater,
he went straight to the hospital and died a short while later.
So what was in the black box, how did he do these things?
No one knows, the government came in and the box went missing.
Once he was asked why he did this?
He said, “for the love of my life, Agnes.”
He was also asked how he did this and give us descriptions.
He said, “it was easy, I figured out the pyramids and the Egyptians.”
