- The Batak Toba tribes of North Sumatra have quite the reputation - in the past as fierce warriors and quite famously, cannibals.
But is this reputation warranted? Did they REALLY consume human flesh, and why? Come along with us to visit one of the most popular restored Batak Villages in Lake Toba and find out a bit more about this unique culture.
At Huta Siallagan (Siallagan village) we admire the incredible architecture of the "Rumah Bolon" (Batak houses), visit a restored King's house, check out the stone chairs used in court cases hundreds of years ago, and look into the method of punishment and execution carried out by ancient Batak tribes.

Terima kasih banyak Liz and Cookie - you are both so sweet! Hugs from us and our kitties 😻
Amazing !! Super interesting beautiful art work and Batak culture!
Thank you Pablo! 😀🙏
That was such a cool video! So interesting to learn about, you guys did a great job! Awesome thumbnail too! 🗡️
Thank you! Wish we had a little more info to include, but we're still learning as we go! So glad you liked it though bro. The thumbnail was fun to make lol
Hi Carly & Agung! Wonderful video Si gale gale & Batak architecture. It is believed the Tana Toraja are descended from Samosir island, very similar wooden carvings & architecture. Cookie sends 🐾💙🐾💗
Hi Liz and Cookie! So interesting isn't it! I'd love to go back and study all this stuff to learn about it - Wikipedia will have to do for now haha.
Amazing thank you for the tour! There are similarities to Māori the pole looked like the American Indian totem poles and I believe that they are associated with an Animal spirit as well hence the snake at the back. Love seeing the traditional housing❤
Thanks so much for watching! There are so many similarities to Maori - especially as you dive deeper into the various tribes of Sumatra. Apparently there are similarities to the indigenous tribes of Australia, too. So fascinating. ☺
Great video! I also noticed the similarity to Māori art on the houses. Sumatra is one of my favourite destinations! I hope to visit Indonesia again next year. Keep the videos rolling. 🎥
Thank you! Agung speaks Karonese and many of the number words are the same as the Maori numbers. Would love to know more about the similarities. Hope you can make it back to Indo next year! Thanks for the support. ☺🙏

Hi Liz! We're still here but we no longer have a working editing laptop, so CZcams has to be on hold for a while! 😿 We're also working hard on an upcoming eBook which is taking up all our time! We really hope to be back in action next month because we do miss it. Thanks for checking in with us ☺🙏
@@ExploringSumatra Hi Carly! Omg! Same here w/o working car. Also, recovery from nose basal carcinoma surgery from all the fun & hot sun(uv) years in Indonesia! Put me on the list 4 ebook, great idea! Wish i could teleport laptop. Susah cari orang bis memperbaiki laptop? Tidak bisa beli yg lain? Banyak cinta dari Cookie.
@@ExploringSumatra Check ur thanks! Love from Cookie!
Oh no sorry to hear about your car - and the recover from the surgery. Sending you lots of love and hope you (and the car) are feeling better soon! We can't replace the laptop at the moment, and can't make the trip to the city to try to fix it either - so we just have to wait! We have a friend in NZ who offered us their old one which is awesome, but we have to wait until some tourists from NZ come and can bring for us haha.
Oh Cookie and Liz! This is so unexpected but SO kind of you - especially as you are having health and car issues!! Terima kasih BANYAK. We are going to put this in our laptop fund. Thank you - you've really brightened our day. ❤🙏😀
