At age Minangkabau History

What is meant by the time of the early history of the Minangkabau is the era that includes the period between the first century AD to the seventh century. In this period the pre-history still continues, but this time equipped with the oldest written stories about such Minangkabau term Tsi San-Fo from Chinese news that can be read as Tambesi contained in Jambi. In other parts of Indonesia have also been writing such as news or in the Kutai kingdom Mulawarman Tarumanegara Kalimantan and West Java. But the news was not much we can take as material to construct a story of history, because it's still very little and each one seemed to stand alone without any relationship at all. To this day provides a time Soekomono Proto History of Indonesia, namely the transition from the prehistoric era to the era of history.

 
News dai Tambo Minangkabau people and stories revealed only a superficial about it, that is only mentioned about the life of the ancient Minangkabau. In this case Tambo argued as follows: "... not if Maso formerly ..."...( Whether ancient times). "... from the year baganti season, decks times Tuka - batuka, deck Lamo Maso talampau nan, nan-year season balansuang jo ..." (Because of the season change, because times vary, because time has passed, years with season lasts ),"... Bran barapo kalamonyo ..."( either how long), from the time that such expression is difficult to determine when they are incurred. Understanding the past that alone already contains many possible interpretations and highly relative.

Perhaps the life time of the early history of the Minangkabau are almost the same as life in the days of Pre-history, only in the early history of this end-time religion of Islam has entered into Minangkabau and already there is news from China. It could be argued, that the story of history for the first time the history of Minangkabau is very little, even it can be said is the darkest era in the history of the Minangkabau. So dark to connect the era of its history Pre History with the times we have no source at all, no longer vague, but it was dark.
