Conversely figures Dirajo Maharajo Tambo as stated by one of the children Iskandar Zulkarnain, chances are one of the Commander of Iskandar Zulkarnain who commissioned master gold islands (Sumatra), including the Minangkabau area. It was he who then lose the rulers of the Minangkabau, if we interpret what is said next Tambo. Unfortunately Tambo was never mention of when it happened other than "on the former" that have a lot of interpretation. Tambo also said that the ancestors of the Minangkabau of mountain top trim. This can not be interpreted as saying that, but like the Minangkabau own habit to look for interpretation, because the Minangkabau people always say something through figurative words, "do not shoot straight." Interpretation roughly as follows:
When Maharajo Dirajo was sailing towards the island of gold in the task given by Iskandar Zulkarnain, at one point he saw the mainland which is very small because it is still very far away. After landfall it was a volcano, Mount Merapi which is very large. But by the heir to the Tambo and then mount Merapi very small at first look that is said to be the homeland of the Minangkabau. Furthermore, such a story Tambo, also still exist today in our time. There's good we quote what was said Tambo as stated by the Guno Dirajo: "... Deck Lamo bakalamoan, nampaklah charred from lauik, which sagadang talua itiak, Sadang dilamun-seagrass waves ..." (after the old sail finally be seen a very small island about the size of duck eggs that look just conformed to arise sinking tide waves). Furthermore, Lamo said :"... Dek - bakalamoan AIA lauik basentak down, burnt nan was basentak naiak, really dareklah sarupo Paco, but increasingly kaba nan bak, alley kapado niniak Kito, it was mendarek Maso, Iyo dipuncak gunuang marapi ... "(because for a long voyage and the tide has begun to subside, burnt a little earlier increase, the land which it did not look like a patchwork obahnya, then dinamakanlah mainland with the island patchwork that finally landed by our ancestors who landed in the mountains about trim .) This event is described by the indigenous Minangkabau mamangan reads "from mano titiak palito, from telong barapi nan, from mano origin niniak Kito, from puncah gunuang marapi" (from which point of telong a flaming lamp, from which comes our grandmothers, from the top of the mountain trim). Mamangan this custom is still trusted by most of the Minangkabau society .. For those of us who draw from Tambo story is not about the meaning of his words but is a story that gives an indication to us of the Minangkabau ancestors originally came from the sea, (the sail), whose time is very long. The arrival of these ancestors that can be equated with the entry of the ancestors of the Minangkabau. Thus the entry of the ancestors of the Minangkabau to estimated time of arrival: ie between the fifth century BC to first century BC, according to the age of megalith culture itself. Back to the main problems in this section, then according Soekomo, megalith tradition was originally a stone used as a symbol to commemorate a chief. After the tribal chief died, the warning was eventually turned into a homage which gradually became a sign of worship of ancestral spirits.
