It's rather simple to move large blocks. All this talk of levitation and magic is ridiculous when there is such a simple explanation, one far more elegant than this magic rubbish.

The mechanics of moving large blocks is well-known, and fantastically simple. First you'll have to show how it's rationally impossible for those techniques to have been used, then we can start talking about magnets and Tesla and other stuff.
BTW - Tesla's fantastic inventions were not recorded, only Tesla talking about them. They could just be hoaxes, which Occam's Razor suggests we believe instead of them actually existing. I know he's a romantic figure to those who believe in esoteric technical knowledge existing, but it's a shame to spurn the scientific method to believe in something that's not necessarily true, than to adopt the scientific method and know for certain.
So yeah, my money's on him using wood, or winches, or labourers, or anything that doesn't demand people re-write the entire history of human learning and understanding, without any evidence supporting it. Call me crazy, but I like my science rigorous, not fluffy.

I have been looking into this a lot and I found out that number "5-7129/6105195" that was written in stone, is not anything mysterious. It has Nothing to do with energy or any code. It is Ed's Citizen Naturalization number.
It was common practice in those days to write that number on you door so people would know you were a Naturalized Citizen. This was done because many fears abounded about immigrants because of the war. I believe there is even a picture of his naturalization document that show this number.

the code is some type of mass harmonic ratio that Ed used to index his mass machine winding device. Basically by not following any of the known modern rules governing the current electro-magnetic theories Ed was able to truly see how gravity worked in nature around him. He could see hues of blue and red as the polarity he induced on objects changed their gravitational attraction/ repulsion to earth natural gravity field.
Essentially inducing a non-native pole orientation in the object that cancel a certain percentage of mass based on his golden ratio.
Then with the aid of A frame pole and some block and tackle reels he was able to lift and position the now "lower" mass blocks until they were where he needed them. When in place he turned off the induction machine and removed the conduit cable wrapped around the block.
When Ed died the FBI apparently took Ed's mass ratio index log book which says what spacing and N/S order the individual permanent magnets needed to be and the revolutions required to induce sufficient opposing gravity particles that would "appear" to counter some mass of the blocks. The fossilized coral has a strong conductive property due to the highly compacted mineral content.
Such as making an electrical arc through salty sea water...

The Castle was actually built as a testament to one man’s unrequited love for a woman that his effort was very much about impressing.
The power of love is a remarkable thing that can move some to do the impossible.
Strangely enough this is more often the case in unrequited loves and the Coral Castle was an obsession of a man who’s building of it brought him one step closer in his mind and heart to a love that would remain just beyond his grasp throughout his lifetime.
It became in many ways the substitute for that woman and though this does not precisely illustrate how he managed to build the castle it illustrates why he build the castle.
The Coral Castle is a Shakespearean Tragedy unto itself, and having had my own wonderful experiences of unrequited love I can certainly empathize with Ed to the point that even in his death I would not step into that inner sanctum he created for his love of one woman.
Clearly it was a love of the ages, perhaps even more impressive than the Taj Mahal as Ed was not born a wealthy royal.
Would Ed have gone to the very gates of Hell and beyond to impress his love? He surely would have judging the depth and breadth of that love by the Castle. There is no telling what or where Ed might have ventured to in this earthly realm and others to finally earn those elusive affections and acknowledgement or what he might have learned or found out in the process.
Love is a many splendid thing that causes some men to desperate things, wondrous things and even impossible things, as always with just about every mystery, riddle and problem on the planet it is simply love that is the answer!
