Desperate times call for desperate measures I guess, lets start slinging totally unrelated nonsense and hope its enough obfuscation.

Not only did it not say mortar in the article, they didn't use mortar at all in the great pyramid.

Quote:As the stones forming the core of the pyramids were roughly cut, especially in the Great Pyramid, the material used to fill the gaps was another problem. Huge quantities of gypsum and rubble were needed. The filling has almost no binding properties, but it was necessary to stabilize the construction. To make the gypsum mortar, it had to be dehydrated by heating which requires large quantities of wood.

This is literally the paragraph you quoted from:

Quote:The Coral Castle information booth was unable to identify a single scientist or engineer who had specifically examined the castle. This puts the claim in a whole new light, since "hasn't explained" is clearly not the same as "can't explain."

There is one detail that virtually all agree on: since the reclusive Leedskalnin spent nearly thirty years working mostly at night and away from prying eyes, no one actually saw him move the coral. Since no one saw the blocks actually being moved, no one can state for certain that the task was accomplished by Leedskalnin alone.[ The claim that Leedskalnin didn't use modern (post-1920s) tools is obviously true, but the mistake is in assuming that modern tools are required to move the large blocks of coral.

Ultimately—and ironically—the solution may lie in Leedskalnin's own simple explanation: that he did it using principles of weight and leverage. "I have discovered the secrets of the pyramids," he said, employing the same methods used by ancient Egyptians. If Leedskalnin was being truthful, then the mystery is solved, for the methods by which the Egyptian pyramids could be constructed are well understood (see, for example, Mark Lehner's 1997 book The Complete Pyramids).

Photos exist of large tripods, pulleys, and winches at the Coral Castle site, and several sources  (e.g., Wallace Wallington's Web site http://www.theforgottentechnology.com) demonstrate how massive weights can be moved by one or two people using simple physics. (The comparisons to Egypt's pyramids are a red herring; there are vast differences in weight, material, and complexity between the castle's coral slabs and the huge stone pyramids at Giza. Because coral is porous, large blocks appear heavier than they actually are.)

You asked me how a man could move the blocks 10 miles overnight with the equipment he had.  

The blocks were not moved over night, they were moved over 3 years.

Nevertheless ...the manner in which he lifted the blocks was explained to you.   The manner in which he moved the blocks, also explained to you.

You asked for a link.  You got one.

You asked for pictures.  You got them.

You asked for a film.  You got it.

You asked for citations....you got them..from the attractions own documentation.

You received additional info about the man himself that contextualized how he was familiar with the processes involved.  

Should I now have to explain axle loading vis-a-vis DOT regulations to you......because you don't understand trailers anymore than you understand doors....before you simply accept that if there's pyramid magic, this isn't a case of it in action?

Quote:Ed got lucky, his works have emerged as two of the world's most mysterious creations.  His book, Magnetic Current, is a detailed experimentation manual for researchers interested in learning how to become real scientists through direct experimentation and refined results interpretation methodology.     

Leedskalnin also gives us, Rock Gate, otherwise known as Coral Castle, the world's only modern megalithic structure. Shooting a rocket to and landing a man on the moon could be considered humanity's all time greatest collective accomplishment; likewise, Rock Gate represents humanity's greatest physical accomplishment by any one man throughout all of recorded history and all of eternity.
