Leed­skalnin said that he “dis­cov­ered the secret of the pyra­mids.” No one saw how this lit­tle man moved these giant coral blocks, but the sci­ence of buld­ing pyra­mids is not entire­ly hid­den and unknown.

How­ev­er, due to the impres­sivene, unusu­al nature of this feat, there were claims of secret ener­gies found there and a new hid­den math (the Coral Cas­tle “code”).
