The 90's Have Mayan Roots.

While perusing the Metropolitan Museum of Art yesterday, I stumbled into the Artifacts of Ancient Mayan Kings exhibit. The man at the admission booth had claimed this was his favorite exhibit at the moment but it left me a little underwhelmed. While some of the artifacts were beautiful, what struck Blaine and I the most were these two things in particular.

First, we have found the Legend of the Hidden Temple, and it is here in New York! That wonderful 1990's Nickelodeon show was obviously looking here for inspiration.

(The Original Olmec Talking Head Stone.)

(And pimped out Nickelodeon Olmec.)

Then we turned around and found one of our "classic" (used loosely) games from the 90's! CROCODILE DENTIST!!! Looks like the Mayans knew how to have a little fun.

(The Mayans apparently played "Crocodile Dentist" all day long. The day went, wake up and worship the gods, play Croc, sleep, repeat.)

But we knew that in order to have real fun, you MUST make it out of cheap plastic. Rocks for toys?! "Never," said Hasbro!
