The Mante tribe has been a hot talk lately after the trail trail community video captured the fast-paced figure on a scrubby street. Mante people are perceived as having small, shy, and mysterious bodies.
"Indeed this is one of the tribe that is considered as the oldest tribe of Aceh people," said archaeologist from Syiah Kuala University Banda Aceh, Husaini Ibrahim, to detikcom, Monday (27/3/2017) which we quote from daily news sources.
The Mante or Bante people are considered native to Aceh before the migrants arrive in Tanah Rencong and form a modern Acehnese society, as is commonly known today. The existence of Mante people in the modern era itself is still full of question marks. Most of them are only word of testimony that is unbelievable or only small traces.
various circles are now back down the field to find the mante tribe tersebut.Lalu what about their short known physical characteristics? How can be like that? Husaini confirmed that they were short-bodied, about 60 cm-1 meter less.
"It's a bit slouchy, but they are very agile, they run very fast, sometimes if they jump fast on a bicycle, they can lose their bikes," he said.
They are regarded as a race that has not been mixed with outsiders, so it is still pure. The stature of modern Acehnese is now formed by interaction with various ethnic groups, including Arab, Chinese, European and Indian.
After all, said Husaini, the Mante people remain human. Unpredictable posture because the general public has not been too familiar with the existence of this kind of race.
"They are not animals, but humans with somewhat other races and rarely encounter people in general, maybe others think of animals, but they are not humans who live in forests," he said
