batu batikam
Probably not credible that a dagger that pierces a stone. A heritage of yore by the king of Minangkabau, West Sumatra, Indonesia. When viewed it hard to believe because on top of the rock there is only a hole that penetrates the stone does not look a dagger. But, believe or not believe this is a story handed down from ancient times and until recently the story of the stone called the Batu Batikuam still continues to posterity.
First originated from the two tribes and two kings named Datuak Parpatiah and Datuak Katamangguangan. However, the two kings have different views and opinions. Datuak Parpatiah and Datuak Katumangguangan great debate. Both are brothers, different fathers. Datuak Parpatiah Sabatang nan, is a man who was born of an aristocratic father (clever-clever). While Datuak Katumangguangan, born of a father who autocrats (king-haves). But in both, also blood flowing from the same mother, an ordinary woman, as it is.
Blood flow in the body of both, was influential in the view of life lived. Datuak Parpatiah, want a society governed in the spirit of the "sit the same low, standing as tall" (democratic). Medium Datuak Katumangguangan, want the people arranged in an order that "tiered up, tiered down" (hierarkhial). The difference is then tapered into the debate, even lead to conflict .

Equally avoid to hurt his brother, both Datuak then stabbing dagger on the stone. Both the stone now known as the "Stone Batikam" (Stone who was stabbed). The one standing upright on the sidewalk Limo People, the Stone Cage West Sumatra. The others, being swallowed by time, living the story, but still remembered as a sign. What a common ancestor, which has a supernatural power to destroy, even do not like violence.
Datuak Parpatiah then go wander. Compare beliefs with the outside world. Datuak Katumangguangan otherwise, stay home guard, and immersed himself in a collection of wisdom left by ancestors. Two different ways, with one purpose, looking for wisdom. The two struggle, with one dream, organize the people to prosper.
The period of change, exchange season, the two met. With the maturity of the better, of course. Also with my head more and more know. Then they both sat down to share knowledge. Arbitrate disputes that have occurred many years passed. And finally agreed to shoulder to shoulder with each other. Makes people more intelligent and advanced. Forget the selfishness of each, put the interests of the people because it is more important.
Thus, the legend alive for centuries. Presented to the children and grandchildren as a lesson about dignity. Both systems are still living today, side by side and friendly. Complement each other in a tight braid. Being a sort of two-party Republican and Democrat Party in the United States. Being inline rail, two lines that run together, no gap, though also will never docked.
