Di tengah laman Huta Siallagan kelihatan pokok besar ini.

At the centre lawn of Huta Siallagan could be seen this big tree.

Ia dikatakan memiliki kuasa sakti yang berkait dengan nasib penduduk sini.

It is said to have magical properties which is related to the fate of the local populace.

Di sebelahnya ada kerusi-kerusi batu.

Next to it are stone chairs.

Ia adalah tempat raja dan para pembesarnya bermesyuarat untuk memutuskan perkara-perkara penting termasuk menghakimi dan menjatuhkan hukuman terhadap pesalah.

It is the place for the king and his officials to hold meetings to decide on important matters including judging and sentencing or punishing offenders.

Tertuduh dikurung dalam kandang di hadapan sebelum dijatuhkan hukuman.

Convicted persons were locked up in the enclosure in front before being sentenced.

Pesalah berat yang dijatuhkan hukuman mati dibawa ke satu bahagian lain.

Heavy offenders who were passed with a death sentence were brought to another section.

Di sini, di hadapan raja dan para pembesar mereka akan diseksa dengan kejam sebelum dipancung kemudian badannya dicincang-cincang lalu dijadikan hidangan buat si raja!

Here, in front of the his officials they would be cruelly tortured before being beheaded and then the body would be cut into little piece before it is turned into a meal for the king!
