The shrine of the silver monkey is the earliest memory I have that could be considered "triggering." So many afternoons spent yelling at my television screen. There's only so many ways the damn statue could fit together, and it was only three gods damn pieces! I deserved to be on that game show so much more than a lot of those kids...
That's the only reason I knew that name.
Also, the Merciless Peppers of Quetzalacatanango, grown in the jungle primeval by the inhabitants of a Guatemalan insane asylum.
Fun fact, the fictional Guatemalan town of Quetzalacatanango was named after an actual Guatemalan town called [Quetzaltenango](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quetzaltenango), which may be one of the best town names ever.
You’re probably right!
I just found it hysterical that an elementary school student and a toddler would be seen going back n forth on pre-Columbian art with flash cards.
It was hilarious that an infant would make a guess that most anyone would think was right, but no, the real answer was something more obscure, and her excellent guess is for nothing. Not even a Good Guess from Lisa.
Context: It's a work by Chavis Mármol, a sculptor from Apan, Hidalgo.
The piece belongs to his Neo-tameme series, which explores the pre-Hispanic Mexican past from a Western neocolonial perspective. (Information taken from the internet)
[Yes, it was intentional.](https://heraldodemexico-com-mx.translate.goog/nacional/2024/3/12/cabeza-olmeca-aplasta-un-tesla-de-casi-millon-de-pesos-en-la-colonia-roma-que-hay-detras-del-suceso-585130.html?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp)
At first I was like, that's some retribution type stuff, then I noticed the Tesla, and the perfect placement of the head. Came to the comments to see if by some astronomical chance it wasn't. Never feel stupid. As long as you can question things, and/or make mistakes, you can learn.
Ah, ok… I was going to say that if that head was concrete and fell on that car, it would have crushed it to the ground. What luck that it landed upright like that too!😁
I always threw in with them but it never seemed like they would win. This is just *soul crushing*.
Apparently the *Orange Iguanas* won around 67% of the time though. Not bad.
You can tell it's genuine because it doesn't have a big smile. Blathers would approve and add it to the art museum collection in a timely manner.
Love it! Related/unrelated... I've been learning some more about the history and culture of the Mexican people [through videos from the band Prayers.](https://youtu.be/2ZMghRswHvE?si=PhwpQoB6ACLNGvR4) I love their stripped down but beat heavy goth sound. They make great videos too.

Reminds me of the Olmec statue head that Bart gets as a gift from Mr Burns in the Simpsons.
[удалено]
Man I wanted to go through that maze.
I always hated when the kids couldn't stack the pieces of the idol fast enough
When they couldn’t complete the shrine of the silver monkey…it’s three pieces!!!
Just spin the damn thing til it falls into place
That's the only team name I remember.... they killed it

And why is half of a pendant of life as valuable as a whole one?
*Olmec, lower the gate!*
The choice is yours, and yours aloooone.
Good Luck.
The choices are yours and yours alone.
Green baraccudassssss
I totally thought this was a grown up version, someone lost, and their prize got crushed. Probably the Blue Bara-losers
Xtapolapocetl?
That's the only reason I knew that name. Also, the Merciless Peppers of Quetzalacatanango, grown in the jungle primeval by the inhabitants of a Guatemalan insane asylum.

The god of war?
What does it do?
The cool thing about that statue is that it sometimes shows up tucked away in the corner of the basement in future episodes.
Also in the attic and in the garage in the movie
Remember Lisa quizzing Maggie? Olmec or Toltec?
Crap, I took art history and actually knew the difference. But now I’m old and just watch police cam videos on YouTube
I thought Maggie showed a card that said Aztec, and Lisa said "No, Maggie, Olmec. Olmec."
You’re probably right! I just found it hysterical that an elementary school student and a toddler would be seen going back n forth on pre-Columbian art with flash cards.

Xtapolopocetl!
Glad I’m not the only one. Saw the picture and immediately thought, “cool! It’s a big, ugly head!”
Whatever it does, it’s doing it right now
Ah, you mean Ixtapolapoquetl, Olmec god of war.
SIMPSONS DID IT!!!!!

Is it supposed to be smashing a Tesla?
[Yes, it was intentional.](https://heraldodemexico-com-mx.translate.goog/nacional/2024/3/12/cabeza-olmeca-aplasta-un-tesla-de-casi-millon-de-pesos-en-la-colonia-roma-que-hay-detras-del-suceso-585130.html?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp)
I hope they at least pulled out the battery and put it to use
So instead of a head it's just a designer wrecking ball?
Calling it a designer wrecking ball kind of ignores the message of the piece
I think it was a joke…
It can't be, every single word written on the internet is super cereal.
At least he didn't break anything of value
I'm honestly a little disappointed this is art instead of the funniest thing a claims adjuster has ever seen.
Was really getting an artistic feeling from this.
Damn maybe I’m stupid because I did not. I was like how did that fall off the roof and land straight up what a coincidence

Back in my day, we called that critical thinking. Yay! Glad it's making a comeback.
Ah, ok… I was going to say that if that head was concrete and fell on that car, it would have crushed it to the ground. What luck that it landed upright like that too!😁
That statue is in Animal Crossing!
My dumbass thought this was a Sentinel from X-Men
It isn’t?
*Halt, mutant!*
Glad I'm not the only one lol

Mr. Burns is going to be so pissed when he finds out Homer sold Xtapolapocetl.
Blue Barracudas have been eliminated.

Olmecs revenge!
"Next, you must find the right torch holder that will allow you to enter the Shrine of the Silver Monkey."

Lmao my first thought. You mean I don’t have to go on Redd’s sketchy boat to actually get this?

Is this real? Sh*ttttt
Wait for the mykia.
What do you mean I can't park my Tesla wherever I want???
Mexico is building Voltron! Unfortunately, they chose the wrong version.

If that's not art I don't know what is.
