The Mazatec Power Key was an enigmatic Mexican artifact with powers tied to the pulse of the Earth.
History[]
Around 1936, Nazi archaeologist Plebinheim recovered the Mazatec Power Key as part of a plot to use the artifact to destroy the United States of America. That year, aided by Marion Ravenwood, Indiana Jones was sent to Mexico by US government officials to undermine Plebinheim's machinations and collected components needed to carry out the ritual which would tap into the relic's powers.[1]
Although Plebinheim managed to capture the necessary items from Jones and took Marion prisoner, his efforts were undone when his rival paired up with Don Pedro, a mysterious local who seemingly possessed the ability to shapeshift into a snake. After the Nazi forces were defeated at the Pyramid of the Moon trying to use Marion as part of a ritual sacrifice, Pedro took the Mazatec Power Key into his possession and departed while Indiana Jones rescued Marion.[1]
