KUKULCAN
Maya Creator God
Also known as Gucamatz, Gucumatz, Gukumatz, Kucumatz, Kulkuylkan, Q'uq'umatz, Qucumatz, Tepeu Kukulcan, Tohil
The original Supreme Feathered Serpent God
An aspect of Itzamna, he is the origin of the famous Aztec Quetzalcoatl who does a similar ‘Feathered Snake whose path is the waters’ routine.
Along with Tepeu, he created the first humans, although it took a few attempts to get the formula right. He is also involved with crafts and calendars, and many other things. He came down to Earth and taught mankind the art of agriculture...
Basically, the Aztecs made an unauthorized copy of this supreme deity and called him Quetzalcoatl. This sort of thing was common in the millennia before patent offices and trademarks.
