I take it the monkey god is not the living God then.

Yahweh 1
Monkey god 0

They need to return it to the DNC. They’re probably wondering where it went.

An inscription....

My name is Monkeymandias, king of monkey kings:
Look on my piles of bananas, ye Mighty, and despair!

Anybody who would worship a monkey god is an as*****...

[eclecticEel]

Ok, so they describe it as colossal, but then don’t go on to give any measurements, or at least a picture. Seriously, what gives?

...From the New Kingdom onward, temple statues of baboons are somewhat common. They frequently appear to be squatting on a raised platform, often accessed by a flight of stairs. In the Hermopolis of Middle Egypt, giant quartzite baboons belonging to the reign of Amenhotep III were found. These may have originally been grouped around a sacred lake. Other large statues of monkeys once stood in the entrance areas to the animal cemeteries. In the temple of Babylon in Old Cairo, a statue of a green monkey once stood in the forecourt as the town god...

“And Thoth spake and said, ‘Touch my monkey! Love him!’”

“Huge monkey god statue found” -
“Egyptian archaeologists have discovered a colossal ancient statue of the pharaonic deity of wisdom, Thoth, in the shape of a baboon, which send tingles down the archaeologists` legs.”

You know I wonder if we are all getting it wrong and they were simply statues in reverence for their most useful livestock. We just have to find out what great use they put the monkeys to in their society...

Perhaps they trained the monkeys to bring back forage to share with the sick and hungry of the ancient city?

[PzLdr]

I thought Thoth had the head of an Ibis or stork...

[Bellflower]

It's amazing how very stupid people can become when they leave off worshiping the true and living LORD. Worshiping the work of your own hands???!!!! Soon our oh so intelligent people of the world will worship the antiChrist. Then what will the atheists and agnostics do? Perish or bow. If they gain their senses they will bow to The Living LORD even if their heads are sliced off by the antiChrist.

[Jonah Hex]

They can keep the ape statue, let me know when they find this.
