Not a day has gone by without me being asked, ‘When is the website coming back?’

The time is now right for our reemergence.

Today I present the new Code 144 website. It is my intention to update (at least a bit) more regularly, with related news of all sorts -  and you are free to add comments to each article. The comments will most likely not appear immediately but will require approval before they become visible.

A few short days ago, a package arrived from the Historical Museum of Southern Florida, containing a load of new (or, perhaps more accurately, very old) articles and material on Coral Castle and Edward Leedskalnin.

Among this heap of hundreds of papers (mostly composed of signed Affidavits from people who knew Ed) were such tantalizing jewels as these:

• A whole bunch of articles I’d never seen before.
• The original advertisement Ed published in the Miami Daily Herald in 1932.
• An advert from the post-Ed castle owners for the sale of Coral Castle itself. (Only $500,000!!!)
• Confirmation that Ed himself claimed to be a Mason, and probably a Shriner as well.
• The complete book (with the minor exception of the last page or two) on Coral Castle written by Carrol Lake in the years immediately following Ed’s death.

It was with haste that I proceeded to completely write up the book by Carrol Lake – straight into Word, in my aspiration to make this freely available to everyone who has an interest in such things. The title of this book was not quite clear, so I have provided the awe-inspiring: ‘Coral Castle Book’.

Now I will include the excerpt from the Carrol Lake book regarding Ed and his Masonic past.

He talked many times about his being “a Mason.” Once he said, “I’m a Shriner.” Yet he never attended as far as is known, a Masonic Club meeting.

While it is possible (and I believe most probable) that Ed joined the Masonic brotherhood in Latvia, the Shriner remark leads credence to the idea that Ed was also an active brother at some point of his time within the United States, even if this was limited to his time before finally settling in Florida.

This is because the Shrine (The Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine) is almost exclusive to the United States – even more so in Ed’s day. Speculation ensues, no doubt!

To download and read the entire book on Coral Castle and Ed Leedskalnin by Carrol Lake, click here.

I can’t recommend it highly enough. You will come away with a deeper appreciation for Edward Leedskalnin and his journey.

There is also a new page on Facebook for Code 144. Join us!

The new Code 144 website you see before you is running on Wordpress. I’m not completely used to it yet, but I think I like it.

Coral Castle For Sale, only $500,000

The story is told in the 1st and 3rd person to give the reader an intimate feeling and rapprochement with Leedskalnin’s actual life during the thirty years he spent building his masterpiece.

This book is a must read and until recently it has been almost impossible to find.

I ask that credit is remembered for the Historical Museum of Southern Florida in any copies made of this material.

The topic is on Coral Castle, The Freemasons, and the secrets used by many megalith builders of antiquity.

This video was the beginning of Code 144. Some additional notes are included at the end of the page.

Noted inaccuracies

Since publishing the video, the following inaccuracies have been discovered:

• The object in the Seal of Solomon referenced as a bell is actually a Masonic Level, used for measuring horizontals.
• The ADM star begins with 0º at the top, and is 180º on the bottom. This is the opposite to what is shown towards the end of the video.
• Most of all, and perhaps not surprisingly, there is nothing easy or simple about this. The process is far more complex and detailed than perhaps has been implied here. It is best to think of this information as being relevant to part of the process, and admittedly it stands incomplete in this video.

The overwhelming bulk of the information, including the details on the numbers, remains valid.

I would also like to clarify that at no point does any stone physically get carried on top of the flywheel. Some have come away with this misunderstanding and it is the result of thinking through classical Newtonian laws – and of course we know now, and have known for a long time, that the universe is much more interesting than that.

The video has been posted on youtube and is available to watch below.

It is understood that after Ed’s passing in late 1951, a piece of paper appearing like a treasure map was found in Ed’s room, which is the top part of the tower.

The steps and doorway to Ed's room.

The last part of the video contains reference to the Coral Castle Treasure Map:

They also found $3,800 in crisp one hundred dollar bills, and what resembled a treasure map. All attempts to follow the directions on the map were futile. Nothing seemed to correspond to our normal three-dimensional geometry.

I am asked about this often. The only other reference to the map that I am aware of is within the Coral Castle Book by Carrol Lake.

Among the papers that were found was a piece of paper which turned out to be a code map for a treasure cache in the grounds. It began with, “Start at the pump and go 20 paces” and so on. Meticulous following of those instructions led to nowhere – and to no treasure. This cache has never been found – if it really existed.

Although intriguing, I am not too concerned with it. I believe Ed had plenty of time to encode his secrets through other means and that this is not critical to the technical understanding.

It is also entirely possible that the treasure map was not complete; Ed may have had plans to finish it – but his end came too soon and he never got the chance.

More information will be posted on Code 144 if it becomes available.

The words ‘Coral Castle’ translate to ‘Koraļļu pils’ in Latvian.

The back cover of Korallu Pils.

Korallu Pils was written by Andris Stavro, a Latvian, and published in 2005.

If you visit Coral Castle and take a look in the small museum, you may notice a stone in the display cabinet with a sign that reads”

“ORIGINAL STONE FROM STAMERIENA, LATVIA. ED’S BIRTHPLACE.”.

This stone was contributed to the Coral Castle museum by the author of Korallu Pils, Mr. Andris Stavro in 2003.

Here is a map of Latvia. You can see that Stameriena, Ed’s birthplace, is in the East of Latvia.

This book is filled with information on Ed’s history not only in the United States, but in Latvia as well.

A preview of the many amazing photos are included below.

A good copy of Ed's 1944 citizenship certificate, containing the numbers 7129 6105195.

A photo Ed took of himself in 1950, the year before he passed away.

The book also includes detailed information about Ed’s history in Latvia and his journey through the United States before settling in Florida, as well as many other rare photos and much more. I highly recommend this book for its rare images alone, and it appears to be a very well researched book.

You can also see a photo of the owner of Coral Castle with the author.

Hopefully a complete English translation will be available soon.

Where can Korallu Pils be purchased?

Latvian Websites such as Janis Roze sell the book. Assuming that you don’t speak Latvian, the challenge is carefully navigating your way through the website to complete your purchase. Google translator may come in handy.

Alternatively, copies of Korallu Pils are also sold on ebay from time to time, although it may cost you one (or perhaps both) of your arms.

I also have several spare copies of the book available. You can get it touch if you would like to buy one for a total cost of USD$50.00 (includes international shipping from Australia).
