Crescent of the East - Large Moon Crescent in Coral Castle

On the north wall of Coral Castle, Ed has carved a huge crescent moon which weighs about 23 tons. But Edward Leedskalnin referred to this area as the "Planet Corner". Moon is not a planet, so what is it doing in the Planet Corner? This makes no sense!


To the left of this large crescent is planet Saturn. Edward Leedskalnin referred to this large crescent as "The Crescent Of The East". What does it mean?


To the right of this large crescent, Ed has carved yet another smaller crescent! Remember, Ed also carved the Moon Fountain in a different area, to represent the moon. Why did Ed carve so many different moons? Did Ed carve multiple moons to impress his Sweet-Sixteen?


Ed must have been very childish indeed, to carve all these various meaningless objects. But he was also able to create a Sundial and a Polaris Telescope!


There is a reason why Ed placed two crescent moons in the 'Planet Corner'. There is a reason why Ed called this large crescent as "The Crescent of the East". To learn more, read Coral Castle: Everything You Know Is Wrong
