EARLY HISTORY KARO

Haru-Karo kingdom (kingdom Aroe) started to become a huge empire in Sumatra, but not known exactly when the establishment. However, Brahma's son, in his book "Karo from Age to Age" says that in the 1st century AD already exists in North Sumatra royal king named "Pa Lagan". Judging from the name it is a language that comes from the Karo tribe (Darwan Prinst, SH: 2004). This becomes a big question among researchers.

In an ancient manuscript of the Karo tribe, we are told that the ancestors of the Karo is Princess Royal Aroe and Umang (which is believed to have physical beings such as humans, but the heel of his foot is in front). However, some say that the tribal elders Karo Karo did not come from the same blood (in contrast to the Toba Batak tribe believed to be descendants of Si Raja Batak).
