I tried to find the thread I posted in but it seems to has gone in the Web waste land.
Anyway, I knew this goal would be blown away in not time. I am sure there is still room to spare so the Actual Museum will be what it should be.
Much larger than most Museum's in the World that are dedicated to much smaller minds.

Edward Leedskalnin, thats the dude that built the coral palace, 100s of ton's in weight moved with only block and tackle + his small magic pyramid/box. Wonder what was inside? Something of ancient egyptian descent? This dude may have re-mastered the art of anti-gravity. Did he die suspiciously?

I'm not sure about the circumstances surrounding his passing. I do think that he was kind of a recluse and didn't socialize much. He was very secretive about his knowledge and would not divulge any of it to anyone.
Did you know that he actually moved much of the castle from one site up the road a few miles to a more desirable site? I had heard some urban legend stuff about that. He hired a flatbed truck to move the stone and told the driver to take a hike while he prepared everything. The driver was told to come back the next morning to haul the stone to the new site. From what I hear, the driver's curiosity got the best of him and he came back to spy on Edward an hour or so later. To his amazement, he found the flatbed completely loaded with thousands of pounds of coral blocks. Even if he took 8 hours to do all of that by himself, it's still amazing and unbelievable.

Tesla's work was initially sponsored by the copper magnate J.P. Morgan, who could see many more millions in the copper wire which would transmit Tesla's AC current around the world. When Morgan learned that Tesla was working on a system which would transmit energy without wires -- and thus the power going to homes could not be metered! -- Morgan dropped Tesla cold.
