History
The god has several stages, first as a deity Olmec, Toltec, Mayan Kukulcan and later in the group Aztec gods. It is clear as the Toltec culture took the form of the god of Teotihuacan religious tradition where there is a pyramid dedicated to the feathered serpent II century AD. This God has yet more ancient historical roots. Recent studies show that this character is related to Olmec Mythology and his vision of the feathered serpent. The art and iconography of the Olmec clearly demonstrate the importance of the Feathered Serpent deity in the chronology of Mesoamerica, and in Olmec art. In the caves of Juxtlahuaca is a representation of an Olmec-style feathered serpent. Even, in faraway places like the Laguna de Asososca, in Managua, Nicaragua paintings are representative of the Feathered Serpent.
Quetzalcoatl's name has two words of Nahuatl origin: quetzal, a bird of beautiful plumage inhabiting the Central American jungle, and coatl that means "snake." Another version
scientific whereby it is possible that this God has roots Chichimecas. Cultural influences covered a large part of Mesoamerica, including the Maya, Mixtec. The Mayans as Kukulcan Quetzalcoatl resumed or Gucumatz, but as mentioned before is best known version of the Toltec culture. The Aztecs incorporated this deity on arrival at the Valley of Mexico.
Aztecs Quetzalcoatl related to Venus, which can look like a star near the Popocatepetl volcano for eight months a year, and another three months away, the prophecy indicates that this star and the two solstices where Quetzalcoatl is said that the earth twice a year to bring fertility and harvest, will occur until the second coming of Quetzalcoatl.
one of the representations of this deity is that of a bearded white man, so that during the conquest of New Spain (Mesoamerica) indigenous peoples believed at first that Cortes was Quetzalcoatl.
In order to promote the conversion of the natives, the writers created the myth of Quetzalcoatl was a Christian apostle (St. Thomas).
In recent times neotolteca home religions speak in their traditions and urban legends of the rebirth of this character.
