The video on YouTube is titled "HEBOH! Shocked by naked people in the forests of Aceh" showing every second of the incident, has been watched 1.4 million times until Monday (27/3/2017) afternoon.
Fredography as the uploading account on March 22, claimed to be the original owner of the video duration of 1 minute 57 seconds, as proclaimed Antara.
According to the acehprov.go.id page, based on its origins, Acehnese ethnicity one of them comes from the Mante tribe, more precisely the Mante-Batak people called kawom or sukee lhee reutoh.
Meanwhile, the Indonesia.go.id website, run by the Ministry of State Secretariat and the Ministry of Communications and Informatics, mentions the Mante tribe is allegedly closely related to the Batak, Gayo and Alas tribes.
The Mante tribe initially inhabited the Great Aceh region and then spread to other places.
There is also an ethnological suspicion of Mante ties with the Funisians in Babylon or Dravidian in the Indus and Ganges river valleys, but that can not be determined by the experts of certainty.
Mante tribe has the characteristics of a dwarf body with a height of about one meter. Hair breaks down to the buttocks. Some of them are naked.
They have bright skin, muscular and rough body and a face with a narrow forehead. Both of their eyebrows meet at the base of the nose that looks pug.
As quoted from Wikipedia, the Mante tribe is one of the earliest ethnic ethnic-ethnic formers in Aceh. This tribe along with other tribes, namely Lanun, Sakai, Jakun, Senoi and Semang, is the embryo of tribes that exist today in Aceh.
Originally, the name Mante was first introduced by Dr. Snouck Hurgronje in his book, De Atjehers. He interpreted Mante as a term for the behavior of ignorance and childishness. Snouck himself claimed to have never met the Mante tribe.
In his book, Snouck calls Mante a Mantran who lives in the hills of Mukim XXII. In the XVIII century, a couple of Mante tribesmen were arrested and taken to the Sultan of Aceh. They do not want to talk and eat or drink, eventually both die.
But in the Gayo-Dutch dictionary by Prof. Ibrahim Alfian, Mante is used for a group of wild people living in the forest. Another dictionary, Gayo-Indonesian writer anthropologist Nelalatua, Mante defined the group of estranged tribes.
Until now, no one has been able to confirm the truth of the story regarding the existence of the Mante tribe in Aceh. Until now the existence of the Mante tribe is still a question and mysterious for the historians.
