According to a legend, after the death of Edward Leedskalnin (1887-1951), a plaque was found over his bed with the inscription "The Secret of the Universe is 7129/6105195". In fact, these numbers were carved at the entrance to the upper part of the tower at Coral Castle. 6105195 was the number of Leedskalnin's naturalization certificate issued in 1944, and 7129 was the petition number on the certificate. - Amiram Eldar, Jun 27 2021
