Polished Stone Idol Pedestal (Chachapoyan Temple)

A polished stone pedestal in the Chachapoyan Temple's dart-filled sanctuary, designed to cradle the golden idol. The pedestal is part of a weight-sensitive trap system: when Indiana Jones swaps the idol for a sandbag, the pedestal detects the lighter weight, drops slightly, and triggers the temple's collapse. Forrestal's skeleton lies nearby as a warning, while Satipo's greed is exposed as he eyes the pedestal before betraying Indy. The pedestal's activation seals Satipo's fate in the temple's spikes and propels Indy's boulder-chased escape, reinforcing themes of caution against hubris. It is distinct from other temple structures like stalactites in different chambers.
