It's actually still earth and the protagonist time travelled.
They travelled to the past when only the upper half of the statue was built.
Is this a meme or is this merely a statement of fact about a movie along with a photo from that movie
Actually it was the French aliens that transported them on their spaceship
Are you serious?
Are YOU serious?
A quick googling is too much to ask?
https://planetoftheapes.fandom.com/wiki/Statue_of_Liberty
In 3978, human refugee George Taylor fled from Ape City with his newly acquired mate, Nova. During the course of several days, Taylor believed that he had been living on a strange, alien world. Following the shoreline, he came upon the Statue's ruins and realized that he was on Earth. Worse, he deduced that the humans of his own era must have waged a global war, which paved the way for a dystopian future where humans became subservient to evolved apes.
Are WE serious?
No! They did it! They blew it up!
And then the apes blew up their society too. How could this happen?
And then the birds took over and ruined their society.
And then the cows. And then...I don't know, is that a slug, maybe?
Noooo!
Weird how the copper of the slug statue looks older than the other ones. I hope someone got fired for that blunder
🎵Oh my God, you're so wrong.
It was Earth, all along.🎵
I love you, doctor Zauis!

GOD DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!
I like how the only thing left of fucking New York City is made of iron and thin sheets of copper.
For reasons not directly related to the movie, I just so happen to have this on hand.
Whatever, but I know the commander because he's my pal. Don't think you know something about the commander. Here's a picture.
Did you even watch the movie? They explain it right away!
Someone "blew it up" and the resulting explosion launched it into space.
I've only watched the musical from the Simpsons.
I hate every ape I see, from chimpan-A to chimpanzee.
Dint family guy also did a musical
Doctor Zaius, Doctor Zaius...
Can i play the piano anymore?
Of course you can!
I couldn't before!
🎶 I was wrong. It was Earth all along. 🎶
Yes, you finally made a monkey out of meeeee!!!

The bigger plot hole is that this is not consistent with any global warming or giant earthquake. Rising sea levels would not have a beach and rocky formation right next to statue of liberty. And a crazy violent earthquake that would move land and rock well above the statue of liberty and right next to it, would have knocked the statue over.
No no no. They explain that in one of the prequels. It wasn't global warming or an earthquake. It was caused by a virus. You can't knock a statue over with a virus.
See the other comment about Las Vegas
This is either satirical or the biggest WHOOSH I've seen so far this year.
Check the community.
Yeah it's memes. That doesn't clarify whether people are really thinking the status of liberty was a "confusing plot hole" or making fun of that.
No, this is a misunderstanding. This is just an unusual rock formation. It has nothing to do with the actual statue, that still stands on Earth.
Oh, kinda like Mt Rushmore. Nature truly is remarkable.
*Count Rushmore
Round MushCore
Wait, that’s not Mega Maid?
Oh shit, there goes the planet.
It was a different statue that looked the same. Just a coincidence. It's not that deep.
Ah, Gene Roddenberry must've written the movie then.
I want to think this whole thread is just whimsical, but I have to know for sure - y'all get that it's future Earth, right?
Buy why is it human? I'm just happy they fixed this oversight in the (vastly superior) 2001 remake with the Lincoln Memorial.

They sold it, to pay for the debts after the stock market crash of 2025.

Got there via worm hole, not plot hole.
Everyone forgets that the planet of apes is actually las vegas, if the camera where to go a little more to the left we would see a eiffel tower as well
