Farmers harvest coffee beans in Gajah village, Simpang Empat district, Karo regency, North Sumatra on Friday (15/12/2017). Climate change has reduced agricultural output in almost all areas in North Sumatra.

News of a hoe hitting hard objects in a coffee plantation belonging to Bulyadi spread. Residents of Jujun village in Keliling Danau village, Kerinci regency, immediately started to dig the soil. They became increasingly excited when they uncovered the hard objects.

A stone, which, even though still faintly visible, appeared to be in the form of a  human body. Excavations continued. Together with a number of archaeologists, the excavations were increasingly showing results. The 2-meter-long stone was an engraving of a male body without feet on the north end and a female body at its southern end.
