The Mante tribe initially inhabited the area of ​​Great Aceh 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 to form ethnic groups 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 pair 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 to the historians.

In the Pidie District Mante tribes have been found in the interior of Tangse and Geumpang, They are allegedly living locally and live in caves. The existence of this short-lit man was initially thought to be non-existent.

part of this story I quoted in social media. and in aceh history books
