I recall reading somewhere that certain ruins in Mexico contain passages, doorways, stairs, etc, that were apparently designed specifically for little people, as they are far too small for the use of normal sized humans.Esot-eric

Hmm. That might be the ruins of the Zapotecas, in Monte Albán.

Unfortunately, I don’t remember the book or author, or for that matter, if the information contained therein is accurate. I realize some of the books on ancient mysteries are filled with inaccuracies and misguided interpretations, so I take them with a grain of salt.

I also found this passage interesting:

Maya peoples today believe that earlier creations were populated by a race of dwarfs who now reside inside the earth, living below the ruins of the ancient cities.

It brings to mind legends of the Good Neighbors in Ireland, who populated the land in earlier eras but gradually dwindled with the arrival of humans, until they chose to withdraw completely and dwell under the hills.

Loren looking at the apparent obesity of the Olmec dwarf if you set aside a variety of esoteric shamano-mystical notions pertaining to the stomach he reminds me of nothing so much as various ancient depictions of chihuahuas I’ve seen over the years and they were all that shape because they’d been overfed in preparation for consumption.

The Olmec dwarf’s even got his hands to the sides of his stomach and his face eagerly upturned in the manner of Homer Simpsons about to have a truckload of donuts poured down his mouth.

And is that hat on his head a stylised beak making him a baby chick awaiting feeding?

Add in the fact the Mayan dwarf’s got a cocoa pod in one hand while he appears to be feeding himself something with the other and…mmm Aluxob fingerlicking good!

Maybe the third Alux between the pillars’s actually an early equivalent of a Big Mac vendor.

The Mayans themselves were pretty short in stature, weren’t they? The remaining people of Mayan heritage seem to be around 5 foot for men, less for women. Would that effect the size of what they considered to be little people, making them smaller than today’s little people? Or is this an example of size being used to indicate relative importance in society, as in some Egyptian friezes, where the king is Bigfoot size and the servants look the dolls?

Are there still sightings of small wild people in the area? I need to re-read Loren’s book, clearly.

Happy holiday season to all! We’re leaving some freezer-burned meat for the Big Muddy Monster and bird seed and nuts for everyone else.

In the city of Uxmal, the most famous monument is the is the Pyramid of the Magician, which is said to have been built by a dwarf on a single night. Something Jacques Valle would no doubt find rather Magonian

Sounds and looks a lot like Dobby the House Elf.
