For this episode we present a number of old and mystifying structures located at different locations around the world. Mysteries surround each of these large constructions, as the reasons behind their construction and even how they were built is still being debated to this day.
The first topic of the episode is the Coral Castle, located in Florida, U.S. The Coral Castle is a collection of large and uniquely carved stones placed around the grounds. Some of the stones used in the Castle weigh as heavy as 30 tons, over 10 times the weight of the stones used in the Great Pyramids! What is so bizarre about this case is that the story goes that no one had any idea how the creator Edward Leedskalnin actually moved the stones to create his castle. Whether it was magnetism, levitation, ancient Egyptian Secrets, or just plain old mechanical creativity, Edward managed to create not just a unique complex, but a lasting mysterious legacy.
Up next is the ancient city of Nan Madol. The ruins of the city lay in Micronesia, in the western Pacific Ocean. What is strange about Nan Madol is that it was built in the water of a lagoon, in which scores of artificial islands were created by the people in order to erect the buildings of the city. How these people were able to pull of such a feat is still a mystery to this day.
Finally we discuss the Goseck Circle. Discovered in Germany, it is possibly the oldest large structure in the entire world, being several thousand years older than the Pyramids of Ancient Egypt. The exact purpose of the Goseck Circle baffled archaeologist for years. Some conjectured it was used as a fortification, or a place of worship, or even a setting for human sacrifice. The newest theory behind the Goseck Circle however could completely change the way historians view the people of the Neolithic Age.
