Start a new DMP in Loading
The content of the Great Pustaha and other Pustaha in the Van der Tuuk collection remains unknown because the evolution of the Batak language and script has made the ancient script and language increasingly difficult to read and understand. Even the majority of modern Batak people cant understand whats written in the Pustaha. Without context, the content of the Pustaha is like a riddle, and the ancient knowledge from Batak ancestors is facing extinction in the future.
