    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.

    Sold to aliens for scrap by a bankrupt country (for 10 hamburgers, which is approximately 10 hamburgers in todays hamburgers).

    It turns out, that on their planet, the apes have made an exact replica of the statue of liberty

    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.

        How does a virus extend coastline 500 feet, and raising it 200 feet?

            many Gigatons of viral and animal life can cause increase in land mass, then?

    Someone “blew it up” and the resulting explosion launched it into space.

      Yeah, I think it’s one of those artsy things they sometimes do to just confuse the viewer. In the book the eiffel tower is mentioned which makes everything more obvious.

        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.

          Just in case you’re not joking, that’s the point of this meme. That the big reveal and emotional moment at the end of the film has been misunderstood and reduced to a plot hole

        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.
