On
the western wall of Coral Castle, Edward Leedskalnin has erected a gigantic T shaped structure made of 2 coral
rocks. It is referred to as the Stonehenge Statue. On top of the large vertical stone, Ed has placed a thinner rectangular
slice of rock. Ed has glued them together with his 'special lime mortar' to
create the desired shape.
All authors,
bloggers and tour guides put forth the same theory which goes like this:
"Ed created this structure in memory of the Stonehenge in Southern
England. If you've visited the Stonehenge, you would have no trouble
recognizing this shape." This is astonishing, because the stones at
Stonehenge do not look like that at all. All the stones at the top are
supported by two vertical pillars, not one. Stonehenge stones look like π (pi),
not T. Because of this popular misconception, Coral Castle has even earned the
nickname "The American Stonehenge". If it doesn't represent the Stonehenge in England, what else does it represent?
The picture above also shows a mysterious detail. You may not be able to spot it unless you scan it inch by inch. Good luck!
