Sumatra 1933

Sumatra was known in ancient times by the Sanskrit names of Swarnadwipa ("Island of Gold") and Swarnabhumi ("Land of Gold"), due likely to the gold deposits of the island's highlands. Arab geographers referred to the island as Lamri (Lamuri, Lambri or Ramni) in the 10-13th centuries, in reference to a kingdom near modern day Banda Aceh which was the first landfall for traders. Late in the 14th century the name Sumatra became popular, in reference to the kingdom of Samudra which was a rising power. European writers in the 19th century found that the indigenous inhabitants did not have a name for the island.

ohhh wow! awesome vid. wish i could give 10 tumbs up heheh.Btw the traditional houses looks different from what we see now. I went to Samosir to see some old traditional Batak's houses they are looks very different with the one in this vid. the ones in this video way very simpler. Maybe the ones we see now are modified,they looks a bit more modern and fancy

thx for sharing this vid. Good job :)
