I once read about a Latvian immigrant (maybe Lithuanian or Estonia, you know, that area) to the United States. He had a true love (no shit) that he wanted to come to the U.S. (God knows why). She died (or something). He then spent the next 50 years(I might have exaggerated slighty, say 49 years), building a 'Castle'........ out of coral.............
Intrigued?, or thinking WTF, why is that a secret?.................................. HE LEVITATED THE CORAL.
Anyway, thats what people claim. Some small boys saw him doing it. The guy claimed he had the lost secrets of the 'ancients' who built the pyramids, and those huge fucking walls in Lebanon or wherever they are (you know, the really fucking huge ones?). Anyway, us in the modern era are all wasting our time with cranes and shit, levitation is the way forward.
If you think i'm making it up, go on Youtube, or Wikipedia, just type it into Google (Coral Castle). There are pictures, he even made a giant door that spun on like a pivot thing, "Impossible" say modern engineers. But its true. Watch the videos.
I think the lost art of levitating huge fucking objects might impact things a little.

The wikipedia article has lots of skepticism.
I do wonder about having Harry Houdini and Blackstone, and others sent as spies and saboteurs...I'm sure Hollywood has done that sort of thing but I can't think of any examples.
On another subject, the tabloids sometimes claim that Hitler was a woman, or Lincoln was.
What if somebody becomes president or king and then after he's firmly established he reveals he's really a she?
