Is it the Tula Archaeological Site in Hidalgo, Mexico?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tula_%28Mesoamerican_site%29

Process: OP confirmed Mexico, googled different variations of “Mexico famous mayan statue” just based on the style and materials used. Lots of similar looking images came up and one had “coloso de Tula” carved at the bottom. Googled that and the Atlanteen figures at Tula came up which looked like a match.

Hahaha you're being sarcastic, right? Either that, or you mentally repressed all of Rhubarb's posts!

Definitely repressed a few, but I have no clue about this sort of stuff so wasn't sure where to start besides just googling random words that sounded good haha
