The Lost History of the Little People: Their Spiritually Advanced Civilizations Around the World
✍️ Martinez, Susan BSusan Martinez unveils a radical reinterpretation of ancient history, positing that a diminutive, highly advanced race of "Little People" were the true architects of early human civilization. From the Tuatha De Danaan to the Menehune, these universally remembered "First People" were masters of sophisticated arts like stone carving, agriculture, and shamanic healing. This groundbreaking work argues that seemingly disparate global traditions and even sacred symbols trace their origins to these prehistoric forebears, challenging conventional views on ancient structures and the origins of human culture.
Praise for this book
“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.”

⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Martinez presents a bold, unified theory connecting disparate global myths through the figure of the Little People. While the prose is accessible and the premise stimulating for those open to alternative historiography, this work may frustrate readers seeking rigorous academic evidence or peer-reviewed archaeological data. It is not suitable for strict materialists who dismiss spiritual interpretations of history as mere fantasy. However, for those willing to suspend disbelief and explore the symbolic power of these ancient narratives, it serves as a thoughtful, albeit speculative, exploration of humanity’s mysterious past and its potential non-human collaborators.
