On his journey to the archipelago in 1292, Marco Polo was surprised to see a society eating human flesh. This incident he found on the coast of Sumatra.
While in the Dagroian Kingdom (Pidie area, Aceh), Marco Polo sees the local people eating the meat of their relatives who are seriously ill and can not be cured. In the area, if there is a sick relative then the wizard will be called to check whether the disease can be cured or not. If it can not, then it will be called a special person to kill a sick relative. Then after death, the meat will be cooked and eaten together.
