Coral Castle – Knowledge Edward Leedskalnin (d. 1951) claimed to know the secret of the building of the pyramids, based on the idea that "all matter consists of individual magnets and it is the movement of these magnets within materials and through space that produces measurable phenomena, i.e., magnetism and electricity." He never revealed his secret, but the castle which he built completely by himself in Florida using blocks of coral weighing up to 30 tons proves that he knew how to move heavy objects. http://www.theosociety.org/pasadena/sunrise/52-02-3/eg-vonk.htm --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Coral Castle The Coral Castle of Homestead, Florida. The Coral Castle of Florida is a structure built by Ed Leedskalnin in the first half of the twentieth century. It is built out of massive (many-ton) blocks of coral, which Leedskalnin evidently carved and put in place single-handedly, using only primitive hand tools. He claims to have been able to do this using the “secrets of the pyramids.” Magnetics? Levitation? Singing? How did he do this? http://www.foundation.bw/SevenWondersOfTheWorld.htm --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Article and photos by Frank Joseph Reprinted with permission from FATE In 1993 I went searching for Florida's and perhaps the world's most bizarre place. I had seen the strange complex known as Coral Castle on a television documentary, and my curiosity was aroused. Since I was already in Florida for a book convention, I decided to combine business with investigation. I drove south on Highway 1 toward Homestead, where Coral Castle is located. The town is better known as the focal point for Hurricane Andrew, the worst tropical storm in U.S.

Plaintiff v. EPIC GAMES, INC. Defendant ______________________________ COMPLAINT Plaintiff Coral Castle, Inc. (“CCI” or “Plaintiff”), by and through undersigned counsel, files this Complaint (“Complaint”), and avers and asserts the following claims against Defendant Epic Games, Inc. (“EGI”): INTRODUCTION 1. The case is about Fortnite, one of the most popular and best-selling video games of all time. EGI released Fortnite in or around September 2017. Since that time, the game has had sales exceeding $1,000,000,000.00 (1 Billion Dollars). 2. One mode of the game is called Fortnite: Battle Royale, where one hundred (100) players attempt to survive in a virtual world made up of various cities, towns and landmarks (each a “Location,” collectively the “Locations”). 3. The virtual world of Fortnite is continually changing, with Locations being added (and removed) on a regular basis. 1 37324261.1 Case 1:20-cv-23381-UU Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/14/2020 Page 2 of 27 4. In some cases these Locations have names coined by EGI, like “Dusty Divot,” “Loot Lake” or “Tilted Towers”. In other cases, Locations have the names of fictional places from popular culture, like “Gotham City” and “Westworld.” 5. On or about August 1, 2020, EGI changed the virtual world of Fortnite: Battle Royale to add a Location called “Coral Castle,” and that is where the issue lies.

For Immediate Release: Lily’s Pool Kaspars Groševs, Ieva Kraule, Kristīne Kursiša & Miks Mitrēvics, Daria Melnikova, Evita Vasiļjeva, Armands Zelčs Curated by kim? Contemporary Art Centre Exhibition: January 22–February 21, 2015 Opening reception: Thursday, January 22, 6–8pm Art in General 79 Walker Street New York, NY 10013 http://artingeneral.org Press contact: Aimee Chan Lindquist [email protected] Lily’s Pool 2, 2014-15. Courtesy of the artists and kim? Contemporary Art Centre. Art in General presents Lily’s Pool, a group exhibition organized in partnership with kim? Contemporary Art Centre, Riga, Latvia as part of the International Collaborations program. Now I will tell you what happened at the Lily's Pool. A welcome ceremony. It was on the verge of North and South. Yet everyone remembered a sunlight. Some say it was a perpetual flight, others claim the moon needed one half of a turn. Featuring the work of seven emerging Latvian artists, the group exhibition Lily’s Pool attempts to capture the presence of subtle, tangible, and poetic phenomena within a mediated post-Internet, “post-natural” culture. The participating artists utilize the varied mediums of drawing, painting, sculpture, textile, and performance to grapple with the personal and historical memory of materials in a contemporary society engrossed in the fleeting structure of the digital. The works in the exhibition create environments that are at once palpable and uncanny, examining how the physical and social body is affected by accelerated temporalities and the sensations of high-speed browsing and sharing in daily life. A karaoke performance by Kaspars Groševs will take place during the opening reception on January 22, 2015.
