Always look at the tag line!
"However, it's likely Leedskalnin constructed the Castle using simple traditional means, as pictures exist of him constructing the castle with blocks and tackle."

That's a good question, Edward Leedskalnin never let anyone see him while working on his coral castle for 28 years. (He worked mostly at night). Some teenagers who secretly witnessed him working, claimed that he moved the stones like balloons (I'm not really sure, what to make of this) He was most likely bragging about the Egyptians (he was from Latvia) . There is still a controversy of how he did it. Most likely he used traditional means. ( of course of how he raised stones, that weighing several tons alone is one heck of a mystery) :)
