The Coral Castle is on the west coast of Florida state. A guy named Edward Leedskalnin built it several years ago. It's made out of huge stones carved, positioned, and balanced with incredible accuracy.

Reportedly, Mr. Leedskalnin used no standard machinery, e.g., cranes, trucks, peumatic lifts, to create his castle. When questioned about how he had moved stones weighing several tons into place, he commented that he understood the secrets the Egyptians used to build the pyramids.

More information here. Believe it or not.

That is amazing. One man building an entire castle out of coral. Even in modern times such a castle would probably take many months with many workers and machinery. Make you wonder how such things could be done.
