There have been tunnels and stairways found by Archeologists that indicate that there was once a race of "tiny people." Archeologists have been puzzled for many years as to who these little beings were and what happened to them. There is world-wide distribution of structures and artifacts which seem to have been made by "tiny folk."

   In Pre-Inca ruins of Sachuaman and other South American dawn cities, there is  tunnels and doorways so small that even children have a hard time using them, but the paths are so warn down that it is obvious that they were once used a great deal by something very small. These tunnels are miles long and cut out of solid rock.

   Much evidence from around the world has been found such as little ivory pieces from Shemya, in the Aleutian Islands, pigmy flints, perfect arrowheads barely half an inch long and very sharp.

   Want more proof of a past race of "tiny folk" or a now scared race that is in hiding? Think about this:

   The Bushmen of Africa average about 4 feet tall when fully developed. Some of the Australian aborigines average less than 5 feet in height. Even today in the US it is not all that rare to come across what we may call a "midget" or "dwarf." So why is it so hard to believe that hundreds of years ago there was a race even smaller?

   The tiniest human being to be brought to the publics' attention was a 20 year old Mexican woman named Lucia Zarete, who was 17 and a 1/2 inches tall and weighed 13 pounds.

   In 1742 a Silversmith named Robert Skinner married a girl his own size and it was the talk of the town because he was only 30 inches tall. Him and his wife had 14 children of "normal" size, by age 4 the children were as tall as the parents.

   The most celebrated of the American midgets was a Conneticate man named Charles Stratton who grew to his full height at 5 months old and only 21 inches tall. He traveled with B.&B. Circus as Tom Thumb and even met President Lincoln and his wife.

   The most famous English midget was probably Geoffry Hudson who at the age of 30 was a whopping 18 inches tall. It was reported that at age 30 he was part of a famous duel between himself and a turkey who ate his lunch, Geoffry won the fight against the bird and then ate it.

   Aesop- famed for his fables was less than 3 and 1/2 feet tall.
   Attila the Hun- famed as the scourge of Europe was a dwarf.
   Gibson- the English painter was exactly 3 feet tall and so was his wife.
