Maya & Aztec Inspirations
At Tokyo DisneySea’s Lost River Delta, the pyramid-shaped temple you enter for Indiana Jones® Adventure: Temple of the Crystal Skull isn’t just random design—it draws directly from ancient civilizations.
- The pyramid structure and murals are inspired by the Maya civilization, known for its temples, astronomy, and advanced calendar system.
- The goddess statues and sacrificial motifs reflect influences from Aztec mythology, which told stories of powerful gods and ritual practices.
This blend of Maya and Aztec details creates the feeling of stepping into a mysterious “forbidden sanctuary.”

Imagineering Backstory (BGS)
According to Disney’s backstory, archaeologists are excavating the ruins. Guests aren’t just waiting in line—they’re joining the expedition team as fellow explorers.

The temple’s wall paintings even feature tones inspired by “Maya Blue”, a vivid turquoise pigment used by the Maya for centuries.
Key Takeaways
- Pyramids & murals = Maya civilization 🎨
- Rituals & goddess motifs = Aztec mythology 🌙
- Backstory = you’re part of Indy’s excavation team 🏺
👉 Next time you walk into the temple, notice the details—Disney is blending real history with adventure storytelling!
