Tonight Maurice and I will try to unravel the mystery of the coral castle in Florida. Around 1923 a man named Edward Leedskalnin built a coral megalithic site consisting of over 1,000 tons of oolite limestone. The mystery surrounding the site revolves around how Ed built it himself. How could 1 person cut, quarry, and move all those heavy blocks by themselves? Maurice went there recently and took some pictures.  *The director’s cut is currently available on our Patreon page for just $7.77 and we would appreciate it if all of you Mind Escapees help spread the word and make people aware of it via social media and word of mouth.  ***Also big news!!!! “Masters of Rhetoric” is available on it’s own YouTube channel, Spotify, Apple, and soon to be on all podcast outlets. Youtube 👉  https://www.youtube.com/@MastersofRhetoricSpotify 👉  https://open.spotify.com/episode/2E6F4LwpzUpJyE5ZjAK810?si=a05bf7d8528042f2Apple 👉 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/masters-of-rhetoric/id1811029711*All of our links are below 👇 ⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/MindEscapePodcast⁠⁠*Watch our documentary “As Within So Without: from UFOs to DMT”:⁠https://youtu.be/ao9fyP-lS2I⁠*Check out our new Merch store.
