Now after thousands of years of wondering how the Great Pyramid
was built, here is a man who understood the Pyramid's secret, and he
dies, forgotten, in
Florida. How can this be? This frustration is what
drove me to research and write, for 16 years, the story of Ed's life in my
novel "Waiting For Agnes."
The following story shows how Ed's genius has been regarded by the
world's elite. With only a fourth grade education, Ed designed a 9-ton
swinging gate
in Coral Castle's east wall. The huge block of coral is extremely
uneven in its proportions. Ed faced the problem of finding the stone's
exact center and
running a rod down through the center in order to connect
the gate to the wheel bearings of a 1920 Ford truck so the gate would
spin. The hole had to be perfectly
drilled-if it was off even a frog's hair,
the rod would not go through. The weight of the stone finally wore down
the bearings and the gate stopped opening in 1986.
