'I know how the pyramids were built."-Edward Leedskanin, builder of the Coral Castle

Spurned by a sixteen-year-old girl, Edward Leedskalnin set out to prove to her and indeed the world that he had greatness inside of him, and boy oh boy, did he succeed. Over 28 years he built the coral castle, “an engineering marvel that has been compared with Stonehenge and the great pyramids of Giza.” It’s website claims that it “has baffled scientists, engineers and scholars since its opening in 1923.” It also inspired a song by Rock Legend Billy Idol. This week on brillyant I take a look at the (not really) Coral Castle and its eccentric builder.

Tales Of The Third Man Vol. 1

During times of extreme stress, when we are pushed to our very limits in the most dire of circumstances, we are not alone. Hundreds of adventurers and explorers and even everyday folk during their times of greatest need have reported a presence with them. Guiding them, encouraging them. A companion, sometimes silent but always there when it’s needed the most. I pulled the following accounts of survival in the face of impossible odds from the pages of John Geiger’s classic work, The Third Man Factor. These thrilling accounts of survival all have one thing in common, a benevolent presence that is very real, pushing them to survive when all seems lost.
