Integration of the jaguar into the sacred and secular realms of the Maya peoples is proven in the archaeological record. The Maya, whose territory spanned the Yucatán Peninsula all the way to the Pacific coast of Guatemala, was a literate society who left documentation of their lives (mostly the lives of the aristocracy) and belief system in the form of books and bas-relief sculpture on temples, stelae, and pottery. Often depicted on these artifacts are the gods the Maya revered and it is no coincidence that these gods often have jaguar attributes. As stated earlier, the jaguar is said to have the ability to cross between worlds, and for the Maya daytime and nighttime represented two different worlds. The living and the earth are associated with the day, and the spirit world and the ancestors are associated with the night. As the jaguar is quite at home in the nighttime, the jaguar is believed to be part of the underworld; thus, "Maya gods with jaguar attributes or garments are underworld gods" (Benson 1998:64). One such god is Xbalanque, one of the Maya Hero Twins who descended to the underworld, and whose entire body is covered with patches of jaguar skin. Another is God L, who is "the primary lord of the underworld" and often is shown with a jaguar ear or jaguar attire, and atop a jaguar throne (Benson 1998: 64-65). Not only is the underworld associated with the ancestors, but it also is understood as, where plants originate. In addition, the Maya's source of fresh water comes from underground pools in the porous limestone that makes up the Yucatán, called cenotes. These associations with water and plants further reinforce the notion of the jaguar as a god of fertility. In 2022 the Panther Statue was only available for a handful of days and was most recently available during the Heists Event in December 2022. Given it was only recently available to players, we suspect that the next Panther Statue event week won't be for several months. Tēcuani (and its variants tekuani, tekuane, tecuane) means "jaguar" in Nahuatl. In the south-center of Mexico the "danza de los tecuanes" is performed in at least 96 communities. In this region jaguar dances are very popular. There are many variants of jaguar dances. Some of the most popular are the "tecuanes dances", "tlacololeros dances" and "tlaminques dances" [6] An Olmec transformation figure, thought to show the transformation of a religious authority into a jaguar.

The various sculpture, figurines, and celts from what now is recognized as the Olmec heartland on the southern Gulf Coast, reveal that these people knew their jungle companions well and incorporated them into their mythology. The jaguar is further associated with vegetation and fertility by the Maya with what is known as the Waterlily jaguar, which is depicted as having water lilies sprouting from its head (Benson 1998:64-67).

PMID 26332042.November 2023 - As of the most recent GTA Online Weekly Update released earlier today, the panther statue is still not available to steal in GTA Online. But Diamonds are available in the Casino Heist. With the theme of the downturned mouth being so prevalent in both anthropomorphic characters and human characters, it raises the possibility that it symbolises a holy or royal lineage, rather than a physical trait. This lineage may have started with a legendary copulation between a Jaguar (or Jaguar God) and a Woman, with the descendants and kings of the Olmec inheriting the traits of the jaguar. Other animal traits may then have been added through royal marriages and their offspring, leading to a number of deviations of the jaguar form, including the bird and dragon features seen in other images. Follow these below steps and repeat this process until you get the Panther Statue, and you’re already halfway there: If you want the panther statue, then you need to complete the Cayo Perico Heist. The way it works is that before the heist, you need to scout out the primary target for the heist. In this heist, there are a few primary targets that you can end up getting. One of the targets is the panther statue. If you are looking to get the panther statue, you can only do so by completing the Cayo Perico Heist Is The Panther Statue Available To Take Right Now Benson, E.P.

Fig. W0626: Monument 77, La Venta Monument 77 at La Venta (fig. W0626) also features the emblems of the Were-Jaguar, including the downturned mouth, ear-pleats, and the “X” across his chest. The “X” also appears on his belt and cloak, where they appear within, or over, symbols of temples or buildings. The association between the cross and death or the underworld could still bare meaning in this context, but there could also be a more simple meaning to it, such as symbolising a unity of four elementary powers, four regions or the four cardinal directions (as the cross is frequently used to denote). Considering the location of the Olmec Empire, which straddled the isthmus of Tehuantepec (the narrowest part of Mexico), it could also be that the shape is not a cross, but a hyperboloid (a horizontal hourglass shape), and relates to the territory that the Olmec controlled either side of the isthmus. If it did symbolise the kingdom or the cardinal points, then the “X” could also have the wider meaning of “everything” or of symbolising universal power. In the context of being used within the eye of the Jaguar God (fig. W0384), it could mean the Jaguar God looks over the Kingdom; when used on the chest of Monument 77 (fig. W0626), it could mean he rules the Kingdom; when used with a building, it symbolises the city at the epicentre of their Kingdom; and when used with a temple, it refers to the most powerful temple of the Kingdom. In GTA Online, there are a lot of missions that you can take part of in the game. Each mission will have its own separate gold to either get you cosmetics, money, or RP. The missions are the lifeblood of the game and a big reason why people enjoy GTA Online. In the surviving Olmec archaeological record, jaguars are rarely portrayed naturalistically, but rather with a combination of feline and human characteristics. These feline anthropomorphic figures may range from a human figure with slight jaguar characteristics to depictions of figures in the so-called transformative pose, kneeling with hands on knees, to figures that are nearly completely feline.
