### Tropical Hideaway

The Tropical Hideaway serves a Dole Whip called, "Dole Whip, I Presume" based off of the knight's famous quote. Stanley is affiliated with having charted the Zambezi River which has a paddle in the Tropical Hideaway commemorating how it was travelled upon by Camellia Falco in 1831.

### Tales from Adventureland

The protagonist of these books is named Andy Stanley is reference to the famous explorer. It is possible that Andy is intended to be a paternal descendent of Sir Morton.

## Connections

### Soaring: Fantastic Flight

Soarin' character Camellia Falco traversed the Zambezi River in 1831. It is likely however that the SEA commemorated this event retroactively given how Camellia was not a member in 1831 and how Sir Morton Stanley had not been born yet.

## Trivia

* Both Stanley and Livingston appear to have survived longer in the Disney park mythos than their historic counterparts given their being referenced c. 1938 in the Jungle Cruise.

Satipo

**Satipo** is a character from *Raiders of the Lost Ark* (1981).

## History

Satipo was a scammer and thief who posed as a tour-guide in the jungles of Peru alongside his affiliate Barranca. Around the year 1935, Satipo and Barranca were hired to steal a map for amoral French archaeologist René Belloq. This map detailed the location of the *Temple of the Chachapoyan Warriors* within the jungles of Peru.

After stealing the map from a Princeton University campsite, Barranca and Satipo kept it. In the July of 1936, they were hired by Belloq's rival archaeologist Indiana Jones to guide them to this same temple in search of the *Chachapoyan Fertility Idol*. Barranca attempted to kill Jones on the way to the temple, only to be disarmed by Jones' bullwhip causing him to flee into the jungles. Barranca alerted Belloq of Jones' presence before being left to die at the hands of the local Hovitos tribe.

Satipo and Jones entered the temple in search of the idol and passed through several booby-traps. After Jones took the idol, it activated a massive boulder-trap which the two had to run away from as the gates in the temple began to shut. At a ravine, Satipo betrayed Jones by stealing both his whip and the idol before leaving him on the other side of the pit. Jones managed to overcome the obstacle regardless and later happened upon Satipo's corpse, impaled by one of the temple's booby-traps.

Treasure of the Gods

**The Treasure of the Gods** is a jewel from the *Great Movie Ride*.

## Description

The Treasure of the Gods was a large red jewel kept within a metal crest resembling a bird holding two ankhs. The jewel however also bore a powerful curse which seemingly resulted in those who grabbed it to painfully die and be transformed into skeletons. The treasure was kept within a giant statue of the mummification god Anubis within the subterranean Well of Souls.

## History

The Treasure of the Gods is a large mysterious jewel affiliated with the Egyptian mummification god Anubis. Around 1064 BC, the jewel was completely abandoned in the burial-chamber of a subterranean temple known as the well of souls. This tomb would be used by the Egyptian Pharaoh Shishak around 980 BC to store away the Ark of the Covenant, stolen from the Hebrew peoples. The treasure was left untouched for 3000 years until in 1936 when the Well of Souls was excavated by archaeologist Indiana Jones and his excavator Sallah Mohamed Faisel el-Kahir in search of the Ark of the Covenant.

Jones and Sallah never made their way to the Treasure of the Gods, partly out of complications to their plans caused from the Nazi party and rival archaeologist René Belloq. This treasure was however encountered by an individual from another reality who was a tour-guide from their Hollywood that used specialized vehicles to traverse other realities. The tour-guide however lost their vehicles to 1920s mobster Mugsy Toccata from yet another reality who had left the tour-guide to die amidst a violent shoot-out. When Mugsy entered the Well of Souls, the tour-guide donned the disguise of being guardian to the Treasure of the Gods leading to Mugsy attempting to steal the treasure and dying.

Following this, the tour-guide re-assumed their position in the vehicles and left Mugsy's carcass within the Well of Souls. The treasure itself was likewise left undisturbed as the vehicles left the Well of Souls for the African jungles of *Tarzan of the Apes*.

## Appearances and allusions

## Connections

## Trivia

* The Ulysses was inspired by the Nautilus from *20,000 Leagues Under the Sea*.
