- The Origin of Blue Eyes from Aceh
STEEMIT | ACEH - There are two versions of the story that reveal about the origin of this Lam
no Bulek. The first version says that this blue-eyed offspring comes from Portuguese colonization in Aceh at the beginning of the 16th century. When the people will find spices to Indonesia they enter Aceh and finally settled there. Some men from the army married Acehnese girls and eventually produced offspring with beautiful brownish blue eyes.

Furthermore the second version explains that the offspring of blue eyes called Bulek Lamno started when the Portuguese warships were stranded in Aceh. At that time King Daya arrested anyone who is still alive. If they want to be helped then they must convert to Islam but refuse to return to the sea. From here the men of the Portuguese married and produced many offspring.
- Location Bulek Lamno Stay
Most of the population with the characteristics of bluish-brown eyes, white skin, hair and blond hair is in District Lamno. They are scattered in several villages that once belonged to the Daya empire such as Ujong Muloh, Kuala Daya, Gle Jong, Lambeso and Teumarem.
These villages are located on the west coast of Aceh and face to face with the Indian Ocean.
When Aceh was hit by the tsunami several years ago, many of these Lamno Buleks eventually moved to various places. On average they choose to live in a city that is easily accessible and willing to accept the uniqueness of the physical that sometimes for some residents of Aceh is considered strange and not the same as the locals.
- Increasing Number of Thins
nfortunately, when the tsunami struck several years ago, many of these descendants were lost and died. Not even more than 40 percent of the residents of this Portuguese descent who survived. Eventually they chose to leave their hometown and chose to go to other areas with the small community they formed.
Bulek Lamno is also known to often close themselves to the outside world. They prefer to live modestly and do not engage much with the local Acehnese. For whatever reason, they prefer to associate with people who have the same physical state.
- Become an Aceh Youth Peasant
Beauty and also the elegance of the descendant girl from Portugal this certainly attracted the attention of many people there. Some unmarried youths even choose to live around the village of Bulek Lamno. They will be looking for girls who are ready for marriage until they can.
The phenomenon of a girl with blue eyes and blond hair in Aceh is very interesting.
Many say that Muslims with blue eyes is really beautiful. They not only have their physical advantages, but also have the goodness of morality that makes many people want to marry him.
This is the story of a blue-eyed Muslim from Aceh.
Although they are descendants of Portuguese, Bulek Lamno remains an Indonesian citizen and part of us all. Hopefully Bulek Lamno still exists to enrich genetic diversity in Indonesia.
Interesting story. Thanks for sharing it with us.
yes, same same, you best
