The Scooby-Doo show.
S01:e02 - the Fiesta Host is an Aztec Ghost.
Time 18:00, they bounce moonlight off brass plates(?) to a symbol on a wall in a S. American style pyramid.
This was 1976 I think, and so before any Indiana Jones or likely any D&D modules used that trope. I wonder if some old book had the idea (I guess LotR has that secret entrance to Moria thing yeah), but likely this Scooby episode influenced a bazillion other folks in modern times.
Pretty sure it shows up in Zelda games, lotsa D&D, movies, etc.

Meanwhile, Shaggy and Scooby discover a vacuum cleaner that blows out a smoke screen. When the smoke clears, the Stone Monster appears and chases them until they meet up with Fred, Daphne, and Velma. Suddenly, Katazuma arrives and locks our heroes in a room. Velma deciphers the hieroglyphics, discovering that the room is dedicated to the moon goddess. She learns that when moonlight shines on a specific inscription, a secret passage will be revealed. Using an array of reflectors, they guide the moonlight to the inscription, and a secret passageway is opened.

Much better. More realistic proportions (ok just the beginning… then it got out of hand). Bad guys are serious and gritty. But why would they put a mustache on man-at-arms.
Megalosaurus
Old 1800s style

On Megalosaurus: https://cpdinosaurs.org/visit/statue-details/megalosaurus and Iguanadon https://cpdinosaurs.org/visit/statue-details/iguanodon quotes:
Megalosaurus has the honour of being the first dinosaur to be described in a scientific way (by William Buckland in 1824), although the term ‘dinosaur’ was not coined by the anatomist Richard Owen for another 18 years. Its ‘fearful’ teeth were compared to a collection of knives, swords and saws.
At the time of the model’s construction the available fossil material was a jaw bone and teeth, a few vertebrae, pelvic bones and some hindlimb material. Today M. bucklandi is regarded as the only species of Megalosaurus and, though still incompletely known, is understood as a stocky, 6-7 m long predatory species. This is ultimately mid-sized for a theropod dinosaur, but large for a Middle Jurassic species.
... Many of the key features remain in modern reconstructions from the Crystal Palace model, including its large stature, long tail and general head shape. In the image below, gone is the large shoulder hump and of course it is now depicted as bipedal (standing on two legs) rather than a quadruped (standing on four legs) with short forelimbs with a robust, three-fingered hand. Interestingly, its exact proportions remain unknown.
... The sculptor, Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins, did a good job of distinguishing Megalosaurus from the other plant-eating dinosaurs in terms of its anatomy and it bears several hallmarks of predatory species that reflect close observation of living animals. The limbs, for instance, are not held as pillars as in the Iguanodon, but are have flexed knees, elbows, wrists and ankles, as well as bulging musculature. This pose suggests a motion and energy lacking in the pillar-like limbs of the Iguanodon, and recalls the limbs of rhinos - relatively fast, sprightly giants - more than the columnar-limbs of slower paced elephants.
Iguanadon: Lived: Most Iguanodon fossils have been found in southern England but they are also known from mainland Europe. Related, similar species have been found globally.

This mini cgi cartoon movies has from 1825 to 2025, cool, but missed the most recent correction of “yeah therapods almost certainly didn’t have lips” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OH57rtnKCEM&t=345s
The awesome funny “shut up about shrink wrapping extra skinny dinos” … as in, Spinosaurus didn’t have a hump,definitely had a sail. No attachment points for a hump so shut up with this misinformation BS. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/lJY_8pGU5cc

Also, something about the Bastion System, which I think is made by WotC.
