Biheu site is a complex of graves that was found on 30th of March 2019 by the Mapesa team. The eksploration started from a book called ‘The Suma Oriental’ by Tome Pires that was written in the 16th century where it explained the first position of ‘Biheu’ or ‘Biyar’, a kingdom area between Pedir and Aceh. When Mapesa first found the Biheu site, the conditions there were scattered and most of the tomb was in a broken condition. The inscription on the main tombstone describes that the king of Biheu is subject to the Lamuri. This finding shows that were closed relationship between Biheu and Lamuri.

The interview features Masykur Syafruddin, the director of Pedit Museum.
