History and legend Sinabung.

History and legend of Mount Sinabung indeed leaves a number of questions. Especially when we associate the eruption of Mount Sinabung end of 2013 and with some confidence in the people around Mount Sinabung.

Mount Sinabung in Karo language called Deleng Sinabung volcano is located in the Highlands Karo, Karo District, of North Sumatra, Indonesia with an altitude of 2,460 meters. Along Sinabung Sibayak nearby are two active volcanoes in North Sumatra and became the highest peak in the area.
In addition, Mount Sinabung is one of 30 volcanoes are above the Great Sumatran Fault is an active volcano and the position closest to the ancient volcano that is supervulcano Mount Toba. Great Sumatran Fault is one of the two faults (faults) in the world!

Noted Mount Sinabung has never erupted since 1600, but suddenly active again by the eruption in 2010 and the last time Mount Sinabung eruption occurred since September 2013, lasted until today.

History of scary Sinabung.

Sinabung back "active" after the occurrence of a "terrible shock" around his plate. Beginning with the earthquake and tsunami's devastating Aceh on December 26, 2004, followed by the Nias earthquake in March 2005 and July 2006.

Not just stop there. Aftershocks occurred again start from the Padang earthquake in March 2007 (repeated in September 2009), followed by the Nias earthquake again in October 2009. Now, a year later, on August 29, 2010, Mount Sinabung erupted for the first time after 400 years of sleep.

Indeed, if the review of historical records, large fractures (faults) Sumatra, which stretches 1700 km it has a history that shook the entire world:

Mount Toba (in the middle) start with the all-powerful eruption 74,000 years ago, then shook the mountain Karakatau at its end in early modern history (1883), followed by the other tip of the Aceh quake shook the world with the magnitude of casualties and great shocks (2004).

For information, supervulcano Toba is said to still have a magma chamber beneath it is currently still asleep. That is on it is the beauty of Lake Toba. And if it is a caldera lake, the mountain Sinabung is a "child".

Well, if "kerewalan" the boy could raise the ire of the mother - Mount Toba? Wallahu 'natural sowab bus.

Myth Sinabung.

There are a number of myths in the form of legend about Mount Sinabung still circulating in the community Karo today. As usual we know, most people living in the volcano area is usually believed that the volcano kept many things magical and mystical.

In the area around Mount Sinabung eruption of Sinabung menggap community as an outlet for his anger. It is caused by the surrounding population was negligent perform certain rituals conducted hereditary. Therefore, not infrequently also believe if the rituals have been performed, then the mountain will not erupt though the mountain was really going to erupt.

There is also a story of the Karo people, especially in rural Bekerah, District Naman Teran as saying that Mount Sinabung activity is closely linked to the legend of Sheikh Abdurrahman. Residents believe Mount Sinabung erupted for not purified or lack of the customary rituals of the local community as a reward for the occupants in the Sinabung.
Trust it or not, a number of events that are unacceptable to common sense occurred several times lately and is believed to be giving a sign of anger 'inhabitants'. Similar to the narrative Polite Sah Pane, known as Pak Opan, smart wong practicing in Sunggal Road, next to Wisma Bambu, Medan.

According to him, the keeper of occult Mount Sinabung is Kiai Janggar, class Jin Ifrit, 8000-year-old, black-robed, the high reached a month, about 3000 KM.

"The residents of magical rage, he felt isolated, as if people forget about it, because never again the pilgrimage or make offerings to her," so the recognition Mr. Kiai Janggar Opan. Therefore, these supernatural beings perform a warning to local residents by blowing up the mountain Sinabung.
But it does not need to worry, said Mr. Opan. "This time Kiai Janggar only give shock therapy alone. In essence, Kiai Janggar want to put people around Sinabung appreciate its existence ", explains Mr. Opan.

Local residents are expected to revive the ways of the ancestors, and at the same time preserving nature. Adab or the way he was not really difficult, just laid flowers Telon, a set of betel, and then placed at the foot of the mountain by means of winnowing.

According to Pak Opan, turns, unseen inhabitants of Mount Sinabung can be used for all sorts of intent and purposes, depending on the desires of the wearer. How to? Simply by using the same telon betel flowers, fadiahkan Alfatihah as much on Janggar Kiai, making musk fragrance with black, and burn Buhur Sulaiman.


History Frightening "Hidden" in Regarding Sinabung.

Mount Sinabung, located in Karo North Sumatra is one of 30 volcanoes in the top of the Great Fault Sumetra and Active Volcanoes are the closest to the "Mountain Super" primordial ie supervulcano TOBA. And judging by its location, Sinabung active return since 2010, which for 400 years "asleep" asleep, its position is RIGHT on the Great Sumatran Fault from the "mama" itself is Mount Toba. And this fault is one of two fault / fracture of the most active in the world. Sinabung began to wake up after the devastating Earthquake and tsunami that rocked Aceh on December 26, 2004, followed later by the Nias earthquake in March 2005 and July 2006, followed by Padang earthquake in March 2007 repeated in September 2009 Nias earthquake followed again in October 2009. .. .... a year later, August 29, 2010 Mount Sinabung erupts for the first time after years of silence 400an. Great Sumatran Fault which stretches 1700 km has been recorded history shook the whole world: The eruption of Krakatau in this Fault ends in late August 1883 has listed how great tempest of this fault can be presented to the whole world. The resulting tsunami reached Hawaii, the English Channel and the French, and even on beaches around Sumatra and Java tsunami waves reached a height of 40 m. Imagine. Victims who reach 36,000 people. It's the number of people who died in the year 1883, where the human population is not as crowded now. The number of victims may bepuluh fold when going on now. Weather whole world is changing, the Earth's atmosphere were covered in dust, sunlight dimmed for a year, plague rampant, food shortages accompanying crop failures due to dust Karakatau. And many more phenomena that affect the world's future. And it all started here, in point hunjaman Indo-Australian plate and the Eurasian plate, where Sinabung being rumbled on it these days.  If the earthquake resulting tsunami caused by the activity of "plate" at a depth of 10 km at 160 km from the west coast of Aceh, are earthquakes shallow volcanic approximately a depth of 3 km below Sinabung recorded dozens of times a day, accompanied by some of the Tectonic earthquake in depth of 10 km. Is there something that dikedalaman under Sumatra Island? And in one of the major eruptions in recent years, said the clerk Sinabung due Monitoring Post MAGMA NEW ARRIVE. Wow !! Are there other magma being "on the way" and those in greater numbers? Supervulcano Toba is said to still have the underlying magma chamber is being silent. That is surmounted by the beauty of Lake Toba. And if it is a caldera lake, then Sinabung is a "child". And because the holes bursts at peak Sinabung continue to multiply and increase in size (happens), it makes sense that the push magma ever more likely to focus on the point this out if indeed there Magma stuck that volume continued to grow with new magma due hunjaman-hunjaman plate since 2004. And because in the past been an explosion of super powerful a mountain on the planet, and the mountain is the "mother Bladder" Sinabung itself, it is only natural that Sinabung, in particular refugee fate more attention. Moreover, history records that the horrors have occurred on a stretch of this fault. Mount Toba (amid) started (he said 73,000 years ago), Karakatau diujungnya rocked in early modern history (1883), earthquake in Aceh diujungnya them again shook the world with the magnitude of casualties and great shocks (2004), then Sinabung, located near the "mother" , will put an end to the terror of this fault in the history of human civilization (?).
