Did ancient civilizations possess knowledge that is not known to modern science? Were the amazing technologies available to the ancient Egyptians that made it possible to build the majestic pyramids - technologies that for some reason were forgotten?
From the ruins of some ancient civilizations - from Stonehenge to the pyramids - it can be judged that the ancient peoples used huge stones to build their monuments. The logical question is why? Why exactly large stones, of incredible size, while the same structure could be built with smaller elements - bricks or concrete blocks, as we are building today?
Maybe the answer is that these ancient people had some kind of technique for lifting and moving massive blocks weighing several tons through the air? A technique that made this task simple to perform, just like we can lift a one kilogram brick today? These peoples, according to researchers, could perfectly master the art of levitation, by means of acoustics or some other obscure method that gave them the ability to break the laws of gravity and easily move objects in the air.
Pyramids of Egypt
The question of how the Egyptian pyramids were built has been debated for millennia. The fact remains that no one can say for sure exactly how they were built. To date, leading scientists claim that 4,000 to 5,000 people were involved in the construction, and the entire work took 20 years. The Great Pyramid was built with ropes, blocks, ramps, brute force and ingenious ingenuity.
This is very similar to the truth. But there is a very intriguing passage in one of the historical texts, dating back to the 10th century by the Arab historian Abul-Husan-Ali-Al-Masoudi, known as the Arab Herodotus. Before settling in Egypt, Ali traveled to all corners of the planet that were open to people at that time. Al-Masoudi created a 30-volume book on the history of the world. He was so overwhelmed by the grandeur of the Egyptian pyramids that he wrote about how huge building blocks were transported. First, according to him, "magic papyrus" was placed under the stone to move it. The stone was then struck with a metal rod, which allowed it to lift off the ground and float along a stone-paved path, fenced with metal poles. And so the stone moved along the path, Ali wrote, at a distance of about 50 meters, and then sank to the ground. The process was repeated every time until the stone was placed in the place where the builders needed.
Considering the fact that the pyramids were already thousands of years old when Al-Masoudi wrote his explanations, we have the right to question his information. Perhaps this myth was passed on by word of mouth from generation to generation by the Egyptians to each other? Unusual historical details justify this possibility as well. Or was this fairy tale story invented by some talented author who, like many others today, admired the pyramids, believing that, naturally, some supernatural force had to be involved in creating such a grandiose structure?

Let's say that some kind of levitation force was applicable, but just what? Either from the force of the blow with a metal rod, vibrations arose that caused acoustic levitation; whether the very arrangement of stones on the path and vertical rails created magical levitation. If so, then neither the one nor the other scenario, according to which the history developed, is unknown to us today.
Other stunning megaliths
The Egyptian pyramids are not the only ancient structures constructed from huge stone blocks. In all parts of the world, great temples and monuments built long ago, consist of the same incredible stones, but we know practically nothing about the technology of their construction.
In his book Bridge to Infinity, Bruce Cathy tells an amazing story, he claims, described in a German magazine. This story is about the amazing feats of levitation performed by Tibetan priests in a monastery in the Himalayan mountains. Here are excerpts from that German article:
One Swedish doctor Jarl studied at Oxford. During those years he became friends with a young Tibetan student. Several years later, namely in 1939, Dr. Jarl from the English scientific community set out on a trip to Egypt. There he was found by the messenger of this Tibetan student and asked to urgently come to Tibet to cure the great Lama. The doctor took leave and, after a long plane journey, and then the road to the monastery in caravans of yaks, he arrived at the Lama's house.
Once a Tibetan friend showed the doctor an amazing place, not far from the monastery - a meadow, on a slope, surrounded by high mountains from the northwest. In one of the rocks there was a gorge, similar to the entrance to a cave. In front of the gorge there was a platform on which the monks built a stone wall. The only possible passage to the platform was through the top of the mountain, and the monks descended with the help of ropes.
In the middle of the meadow, at a distance of about 250 meters from the cliff, was a polished stone slab with a bowl like a shell in the middle. The bowl had a diameter of 1m and a depth of 15cm. The bulls dragged there a stone block a meter wide and one and a half meters long. Then 19 musical instruments were installed under an arc of 90 degrees and at a distance of 63 meters from the stone slab. Moreover, the radius of 63 meters was very accurately measured. The orchestra consisted of 13 drums and 6 trumpets.
Monks stood in a row at each of the instruments. When the stone had been prepared, the monk, behind a small drum, signaled to begin the concert. The small drum had a very harsh sound, it could be heard even when all the instruments created a deafening ringing. The monks chanted prayers, gradually increasing the pace of this incredible noise. During the first four minutes, nothing happened, but then, with an increase in the speed of the drumbeat and voice noise, the large stone block began to swing and suddenly rose above the slab, after which it moved at incredible speed towards the platform in the middle of the ravine and into the cave. There, at an altitude of 250 meters, three minutes later he descended to the platform.
Continuing to bring new stone blocks to the meadow using the same method, the monks transported 5 to 6 stones per hour along a parabolic path of approximately 500 meters long and 250 meters high. From time to time, the stone split, and the monks removed the fragments. Thus, Dr. Jarl was the first foreigner to witness this amazing performance. Tibetan experts Linaver, Spaulding and Hook have mentioned this but have never seen it themselves. Dr. Jarl, in his opinion, was the victim of a massive psychosis, he even filmed two films based on the events he witnessed.
The English community, for which Dr. Jarl worked, confiscated these films, declaring them secret. They weren't released until 1990.
But were these films actually shown in 1990? Do they exist at all?
Coral castle
What a pity that these secrets of levitation - if they ever existed - are lost in antiquity and the depths of the Himalayas. They have remained inaccessible to modern Westerners. Perhaps this is not entirely true …
In early 1992, Edward Lidskalkin, 152 cm tall and weighing 45 kg, an immigrant from Latvia began to build an amazing building in Homestead, Florida. Over a period of 20 years, Leedskalkin built a house in one go, which he called Rock Gate Park, known to all as Coral Castle. Always working at night, he single-handedly managed to extract coral stones from the quarry, polish, transport and install the impressive buildings and sculptures of his unique home.
It is estimated that approximately 1000 tons of coral stones were used in the construction of walls and towers, and another 100 tons were carved furniture and objects:
- The obelisk that Lidskalkin built weighs 28 tons
- The wall surrounding the castle is 2 meters 44 cm high and consists of large blocks, each weighing several tons.
- 9 ton hanging gates that move with one finger touch
The largest stone from this building weighs 35 tons.
Some stones are twice as heavy as the largest block from which the Great Pyramid of Giza was built.
He did all this himself, without even using machine technology. No one has witnessed how Lidskalkin was able to move and lift such huge stones, although it is said that some teenagers spied on him and saw "flying coral stones like hydrogen balls."
Leedskalkin kept his methods in strict secrecy, saying only: “I have revealed the secrets of the pyramids. I know how the Egyptians and ancient builders of Peru, Yucatan, Asia, using only primitive tools, raised and installed stone blocks weighing several tons."
If Leedskalkin really did discover the ancient secrets of levitation, he took them to his grave with him.
