Summary

In the early 1900's a Latvian immigrant built what's since been referred to as the eighth wonder of the world. A limestone castle in south Florida made of 1,100 tons of stone pillars, some as large as 30 tons apiece, that he quarried, carried, and set himself. Over the past roughly 100 years, many questions have been asked. How in the heck did he take on and execute such a massive feat by himself? One that has yet to be explained or recreated ever since? We dive in and explore the possibilities on this week's episode of The What If? Podcast.
