Coral Castle: Everything You Know Is Wrong Paperback – June 30, 2016

I really enjoyed reading this book about the meanings behind the structures at Coral Castle. It has some scientific explanations, but they are very easy to understand. It always surprises me how easily modern science dismisses the work of the Egyptians and the pyramids, pretending to know that we have everything all "figured out" how they were built. This book has a lot of parallels to the pyramids and takes a more detailed look at Coral Castle than just the superficial explanations we are given!

Praveen Mohan has so many great YouTube videos when I saw the book he wrote about the Coral Castle I knew it would be good, it is better than good, he explains much more about the meanings for many of the structures that Ed L. built and he dispels many misconceptions about “sweet sixteen” it is short, but full of information that you won’t even get at the castle. My brother went there some years ago to the current location and he said that the information and pamphlets are very simple and lack in depth details. This book was very interesting and very well written.

Some fresh ideas in this book help introduce me to concepts to ponder. The red door information, new to me, is likely a huge clue to this mystery. Also, the water table information is helpful and so is the speculation about planets and moons in the castle area. If only someone could finally pull all the information together and make stones levitate! I would love to go back in time and visit Leedskalnin! Reading this book at least gives me a glimpse into his mind. I agree with the author -- Ed's "sweet sixteen" was not a woman!

I had never heard of this famous monument in Florida and found the idea of one man’s desire to create a lasting monument in rock very fascinating. The builder did not use any modern building techniques and claimed that he moved these massive rocks using the earth’s own ‘magneticity’.They have certainly survived the vicissitudes of various hurricanes and are mostly still standing as the builder left them. Only some of the revolving mechanisms have jammed and no-one today has been able to work out how to fix them. What a shame Ed Leedskalnin didn’t choose to share his ideas as they were clearly very advanced. In this book, Praveen Mohan completely debunks the prevailing theory that Ed Leedskalnin built this monument (and a previous one) as a testimonial of his everlasting love for his ‘sweet sixteen’. He certainly backs up his theory that the whole thing is based on astrology. I now want to visit the place to see for myself and will take this book as a handy guidebook.

To be honest, I’d never actually heard of Coral Castle when I stumbled across this book but what the book suggested fascinated me and I ended spending time reading it and also looking into the information about Coral Castle from other sources. One of the things that I really liked about this book is that the author looked at things logically, piece by piece. I found the ideas fascinating and a lot of what Praveen Mohan presents in this book makes more sense than the other accounts that exist of the monument. It’s clear that there has been a lot of research and thought poured into the book. More than anything though, what I liked the most about the book was simply how enjoyable it was to read. Normally, fact-based books can get boring quickly, with lots of information and little else. That isn’t the case here. Instead, the author has a good balance between information and storytelling, which makes the book an engaging read from start to finish.

When I started reading this book, I thought I had no idea what Coral Castle even was, but after delving in, I realized I was wrong; I had actually heard many things about it before. This made me pay special attention to certain aspects that are contained in the book, many of which really make you scratch your head and wonder. Some of the things that the founder of this place was able to create would even be hard to pull off today, so it’s amazing what he was able to accomplish. I appreciated that this book set me straight on much of the misinformation that is floating around, and gave me solid details on things that I can actually go visit for myself, which lends credence to the validity of this book as well. I enjoyed the pictures and would recommend reading this one if you have heard of this place or are interested in historical marvels.

I've read several books on this topic and they all say Leedskalnin was in love blah blah blah, but this book is completely different. It really is one of the best books I've read on the topic of Coral Castle and Leedskalnin and is written by someone who actually cares about his work enough to look at the science within Coral Castle. I've already read this book three times. It doesn't waste a lot of time. It gets right to the point on every page. It's not a long book, but it makes up for it with actual research and facts to back up the author's opinions. Highly recommend this book for anyone truly interested in this topic.

It was a little short
