The existence of the Mante tribe in the interior of Aceh's forests has been a very long-standing issue. Because so long to be a myth or thumbs up in the people of Aceh today, this 'mystical' tribal conversation only got popular in some era both the kingdoms of the Kingdom of Aceh Darussalam and also the Dutch colonial period.
Mante or Bante tribe is still a mystery researchers and aceh people in menelurusi existence as an Acehnese grandmother, Mante tribe has the characteristics of small stature with a maximum height of 140 cm and brown skin and curly hair, living in the mountains and grow like a human ordinary.
Many argue that mante tribes actually exist, including Christiaan Snouck Hurgronje (a Dutch researcher in charge of studying aceh as a whole) in his book De Atjehers also alludes to the existence of the tribe. But he never met directly. He only quoted the person he said he had seen.
Thousands of years ago (around 500-1500 BC) when the island of Sumatra did not yet have a name, came a group of immigrants from Southeast Asia, they came and settled in some parts of the Sumatran mountains. The first tribe is known as the proto Malay or commonly called the old Malay. Proto proto tribe has special expertise in agriculture and hunting while the tool used still comes from stone. In 1500 BC came a second group known as the Deutro Malay tribe who inhabited the coastal region of Sumatra. This tribe has more advanced skills than the proto Malay tribe, this tribe has been able to use metal and bronze as equipment. Furthermore they inhabit and form the community and develop into small tribes such as Aceh, Batak, Padang and Palembang.
At least the above theories can be used as the basis of the origin of the nation of Aceh although many are dubious but in 2010 Medan Archeologist team managed to find fossils of ancient human skeletons that are thought to have inhabited the highland gayo mesolitik era. According to the results of a study of carbon-fossil testing, the researchers argue that life activity at the Mendale Landscape site and its surroundings has taken place before 3580 years ago or about 1500 BC. In addition to the prehistoric manusa skeleton found, the team of archaeologists also found hand-held axes, stone spear eyes and some other stone tools around the discovery area.
There are interesting and intriguing stories when I listen and read some writings on the internet about the mysterious tribe in Aceh. The news spreads very mazy and refers to the endless directions of reference. This tribe has long been a byword, since the days of the war against the colonial past (Frederik Hendrik van Langen, 1886) so it is not new. But behind the mystery of the maze of news, of course there is a glimmer of desire to meet the desire for my keingintau. This tribe is no stranger to the ears of friends, especially among journalists, of course.
Where are they? this is a part of the mystery, some say their existence is in deep jungle of East Aceh, there is also they are in Gampong seumileuk, the location of the village in forest area between Jantho and Tangse. this is evidenced by the discovery of the former rice fields and graves contained there. Also called their existence there is a hill in the Lokop area, there is a remnant of the remains of their village / village there and there is also calling them on Mount GEUPO, about 9 hours drive from Geumpang. In fact, recently rumors have spread about their whereabouts in the Leuser forest between Kutacane and South Aceh in the Krueng Bengkoeng area. It's full of mystery.
There are some of their habits, one of them they like to go down the river when dawn Azan reverberate. that's the right time to see or prove them. There is also a saying if you want to find them in places mentioned above do not forget to bring salt, because they love the salt.
