In the previous section, we explored the prevailing theory that the Egyptian pyramids were built through casted limestone on molds. Now were are getting into something more…mysterious…
This one is my personal favourite, just because it has that feeling of super crazy the theory has come back over and over throught different people.
Alright, back to the ancient days of 3000 B.C. (yes, before Christ, not Air Conditioning). Imagine: thousands of people constructing the Great Pyramid, a tomb commissioned by the Pharaoh Khufu—if that’s not self-love, I don’t know what is.
To recap, in the last posts we covered the official theory. According to mainstream historians, pyramid blocks were lifted with ramps and raw muscle power. On average, this method would require placing a block every three minutes over 30 years—non-stop, no holidays, and all with chisels made of bronze or stone that needed constant sharpening.
But hey, if we can move a fridge up a flight of stairs, why not a 2.5-ton block, right?
So, How were the pyramids built? ….

How were the pyramids built : Theory #3: Molded Magnetic Levitation
In this third theory, let’s examine what’s been set on the table for the mysterious force of magnetic levitation.
Yes, we’re getting into wilder theories, and wait till we throw in aliens!
This one starts with a peculiar character, Edgar Cayce, known as the “sleeping prophet.”
He was a photographer who would lose consciousness, fall into a deep sleep, and give solutions to health issues from his trance-like state. Nothing out of the ordinary, right? His healing sessions earned him fame by word of mouth, but the reason we’re talking about him is because of his “visions.”
One vision in particular described pyramid blocks floating in the air, supported by rods. Just like that, he claimed to have witnessed stones defying gravity. Although his vision never brought him fame or fortune, because he was just writting down what he saw, it planted a seed in the world of pyramid theories.
This theory might’ve faded if not for two things: first, the number of patients Edgar Cayce reportedly cured, and second, our next star—yes, you guessed it! Enter Edward Leedskalnin (1887–1951).
Pyramids but in the 1900’s: Coral Castle
Edward was a quirky character, eccentric even, who single-handedly built an entire limestone palace in Florida.
He called it Coral Castle, and it’s still around today—a bizarre Lego-like fortress made of three-ton stones stacked and arranged by one man.

Edward worked in complete isolation, usually at night. He even claimed to know the techniques used to build the pyramids and Stonehenge.
A neighbor, the only person who got a glimpse of his methods, wrote a book claiming Edward’s secret was nothing more than a tall wooden tripod. The tripod was right there, plain as day. But if that’s all there was to it, why didn’t Coral Castle’s construction become an ordinary feat?
The only evidence left: Leedskalnin’s book
Leedskalnin left one cryptic text behind called A Book in Every Home. Now, if you’re wondering what type of book every home should have, let me tell you, it’s…strange.
The book starts by talking about a 16-year-old girl, and from there, things just get weirder. The writing is filled with odd instructions and blank spaces with directions for the reader to “draw their own conclusions.”
When I first read it, I thought maybe he was referring to a rock or some kind of stone, since it didn’t seem like he was describing an actual person.
It was like he was talking about “something” that had to meet specific conditions for another thing to happen.
After a few unsuccessful attempts to decode it, I stumbled across an online PDF titled Decoding Edward Leedskalnin’s Book. The document’s author (Matt Clarke) argued that the “girl” was not a piece of limestone but a U-shaped magnet, and that it had to be placed in a precise position to “work.”
Not knowing much about magnetism, I dove into research on Tesla’s endless energy machine…and got stuck there. Not because it was no end alley, I just got bored, thruth be told.
That was the end of my journey…but dear read, you have my blessing to do you own research.
Final Thoughts
And that’s where I’ll leave it, folks. If anyone reading this has more information, please comment! This will be an open-ended post where we can gather more insights.
Cheers! Oh, and no, I’m not ending this with a pyramid-building blueprint. I don’t have the “catch” myself, so if this topic fires you up, keep digging, my friends!
Stay tuned for the next part—the Aliens are coming!
