Book Synopsis
All cultures haves stories of the First People, the "Old Ones," our prehistoric forebears who survived the Great Flood and initiated the first sacred traditions. From the squat "gods" of Mexico and Peru to the fairy kingdom of Europe to the blond pygmies of Madagascar, on every continent of the world they are remembered as masters of stone carving, agriculture, navigation, writing and shamanic healing-and as a "hobbit" people, no taller than 3 ½ feet in height yet perfectly proportioned. Linking the high civilisations of the Pleistocene to the Golden Age of the Great Little People, Susan Martinez reveals how this lost race was forced from their original home on the island of Pan (known in myth as Mu or Lemuria) during the Great Flood of global legend. Following the mother language of Pan, Martinez uncovers the original unity of humankind in the common roots of key words and holy symbols, including the scarlet biretta of Catholic cardinals and shows how the Small Sacred Workers influenced the primitive tribes that they encountered in the post-flood diaspora, leading to the rise of civilisation. Examining the North American mound-culture sites, including the diminutive adult remains found there, she explains that these stately mounds were not burial sites but the sanctuaries and homes of the Little People. Drawing on the intriguing worldwide evidence of pygmy tunnels, dwarf villages, elf arrows and tiny coffins, Martinez reveals the Little People as the real missing link of prehistory, later sanctified and remembered as gods rather than the mortals they were. · Traces the common roots of key words and holy symbols, including the scarlet biretta of Catholic cardinals, back to the Little People · Explains how the mounds of North America and Ireland were not burial sites but the homes of the Little People · Includes the Tuatha De Danaan, the Hindu Sri Vede, the dwarf gods of Mexico and Peru, the Menehune of Hawaii, the Nunnehi of the Cherokee as well as African Pygmies and the Semang of Malaysia

Trade Review
“Tales and legends of the wee folk, or little people, are numerous around the world. At times they are reportedly meddlesome, but always very mysterious. Through her extensive research into the subject matter, Susan Martinez, Ph.D., establishes the little people as the progenitor of civilization and one of the ancestors of the people of today.” * Jack Churchward, author of Lifting the Veil on the Lost Continent of Mu, Motherland of Men *
“Those who have read any of Susan Martinez’ prior works know her to be a consummate story teller, an encyclopedia of knowledge pertinent to her subjects, and one, bolstered by her beliefs, unafraid to shoot detractors from the hip, hence The Lost History of the Little People will not disappoint. For those new to her style and content, attracted by the subject, you can expect a panoramic guided tour of countries, civilizations and cultures, replete with facts, fables, figures and illustrations.” * Marvin E. Herring *
“Martinez’s conclusion that the Little People are the real missing link in the history of humanity is supported by worldwide evidence, including pygmy tunnels, elf arrows, dwarf villages and tiny coffins. Her book is lavishly illustrated with photos, diagrams and artistic renderings that bring to life an astonishing view of our biological and cultural origins. Those who are curious about such things will find themselves spellbound by her vision.” * Metaguide Magazine, September 2013 *
“Susan Martinez has amassed more information in a single volume about the so-called little people than any other research of its kind. This new book offers invaluable, otherwise obscure, resource materials in a presentation as thorough as it is engaging.” * Frank Joseph, author of Atlantis and 2012, The Lost Civilization of Lemuria, and Advanced Civilizati *
