Quetzalcoatl - God of the wind, wisdom, and life.
Quetzalcoatl was a major deity in Aztec mythology, and was represented as a magnificent feathered serpent.
He had an exact counterpart in Mayan legends too, called Kukulkan, and at Chichen Itza in Mexico there is a Mayan pyramid dedicated to Kukulkan - and possibly even visted by him?
Every year at the spring and autumn equinoxes, the pyramid's shadow moves along as the sun sets, and creates a striking illusion of a feathered serpent - an apt simulacrum invariably attracting many sightseers.

Is Aztec and Mayan mythology kind of like Greek and Roman?? The Roman basically took all of the Greek gods and stories and just changed the names.

Romans came from the Etruscan people, which came from the Greek. That's why they share most myths and legends.
The Maya's and Aztecs were two totally different civs.

Ahh ok. Gaheris, did you think that I meant that the Mayans and the Romans shared religions?? I just meant are the Aztec and Mayan religions related the way Greek and Roman are.

The things with Gods are that most religions share the same basic-principals about gods. One for the sun, one for water etc.
