What Archaeology Says

Built by Latvian immigrant Edward Leedskalnin between 1923–1951 in Florida. Leedskalnin used conventional — if ingenious — mechanical methods including block and tackle systems, tripod cranes, and hand tools. He worked alone at night simply because he was private and worked slowly over decades. Several researchers have documented plausible mechanical explanations for his construction methods.
