First earth age has some shared information.
This is just an observation, so take it anyway you like.
Late one night I was having coffee talking with the casher a girl that was telling me all about, Quetzalcoatl / Kukulkan the god of the mayans.
A winged serpent covered with a rainbow of colored feathers. I of course told her I could find a similar description in the bible. Threw the course of several weeks I researched Quetzalcoatl. I find that some of the teachings about a previous earth age where Satan was master is reflected in much of what I discovered about Quetzalcoatl / Kukulkan and his twin brother. He was called the morning star, his brother the evening star Venus. He had a human form as well as his feathered serpent form. Kukulcan would transform into a man standing about 6 feet tall with long white hair, but most interestingly he was a male Caucasian man with white skin!
Quetzalcoatl / Kukulcan is one of the three gods that was thought to have created the Earth. He is a serpent in his natural form and was responsible for teaching the Mayan's about such things as how to run a civilization, agriculture, and medicine. After a brief period of being on Earth Kukulcan returned to the ocean telling the Mayans that he would return at some later date.
To the Aztecs Quetzalcoatl was, as his name indicates, a feathered serpent, a flying reptile (much like a dragon), who was a boundary maker (and transgressor) between earth and sky. He was also a creator deity having contributed essentially to the creation of Mankind. He also had anthropomorphic forms, for example in his aspects as Ehecatl the wind god. Among the Aztecs the name Quetzalcoatl was also a priestly title,
And of course if you start digging into eastern or Asian dragons you find similar stories about the dragon being co creator as well, The bible on the other hand does not equate the serpent with the work of Gods creation but rather a created being.
Don't forget those human sacrifices. Before you read below.
Alternative Interpretations
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
Some Mormon scholars believe that Quetzalcoatl, as a white, bearded god who came from the sky and promised to return, was actually Jesus Christ. According to the Book of Mormon, Jesus visited the American natives after his resurrection.[sup][13][/sup] Latter-day Saint President John Taylor wrote:
"The story of the life of the Mexican divinity, Quetzalcoatl, closely resembles that of the Savior; so closely, indeed, that we can come to no other conclusion than that Quetzalcoatl and Christ are the same being. But the history of the former has been handed down to us through an impure Lamanitish source. "[sup][14][/sup] This idea was adapted by science fiction author and Mormon Orson Scott Card in his story America.
Roman Catholic
In the 2004 book The Bearded White God of Ancient America: The Legend of Quetzalcoatl, authors Donald and W. David Hemingway examine a theory among Conquistador-era analysts that Quetzalcoatl may have been a New Testament-era Apostle of Jesus Christ, such as Saint Thomas. Donald Hemingway has previously taught religious studies classes at Brigham Young University [1]. The aforementioned theory expressed by John Taylor in the Latter-Day Saint Movement is also discussed within his book in an appendix.
New Age
Various theories about Quetzalcoatl are popular in the New Age movement, especially since the publication of Tony Shearer's 1971 book "Lord of the dawn: Quetzalcoatl and the Tree of Life" republished also under the title "Lord of the dawn: Quetzalcoatl, the plumed serpent of Mexico."
While researching my book I discovered a lot of interesting parallels between the pre-Columbian civilization in Central and S.A. and the civilization in the middle east of the second millenium BC. ..... but that discussion is for another day.
I also discovered that notions of assistance given to the native peoples there by space aliens is a lot of rubbish. Mr. Eric Von Daniken is responsible for a lot of the trash about space aliens and a possible connection with the Incan and Mayan civilizations.
Let me start off by saying that I've traveled to some of the places Mr. Von Daniken wrote about. I lived with the people and put my hands on their stone work. Did you?
Sad to say there is no real evidence to suggest that space aliens or anybody else for that matter assisted the people of those times. In fact, there is a LOT of evidence that they were very clever in making use of the things the environment provided. For example, those folks INVENTED the suspension bridge, trans-oceanic navigation, something resembling the modern screw top jar (yep, just like your jar of peanut butter), and Baal worship (complete with human sacrifice). Ever hear of Baal worship before? Now that's a tale for you, but I digress.........
The idea that the people of Central and S.A. received help to become civilized is RACIST !
Von Daniken is a German racist. What else do you expect him to write?
Poor dumb non-white people could never rise to the levels of mathematical prowess, engineering know-how, and astonomical precision they achieved without help from space men, satan or some fantasy character.
I have been there and I can attest that they were very clever, worked very hard and achieved miracles BY THEIR OWN EFFORTS and BY THEIR OWN CLEVERNESS.
The idea that satan or martians had anything to do with their rise to civilized power and empire is so obviously racist as to be insulting.
YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF.
It's no wonder that the Quechua people, among others, are rejecting Christianity by the thousands. This sort of absurd garbage is not of Christ and not of the Bible.
If satan is involved, I suggest that he may have some influence on the writer of the above quoted post.....or more likely the writer may have been smoking something out behind the barn that he shouldn't have.
I suggest that you get your head out of the pot (or wherever else you've stuck it) and breath a little fresh air. It will help to clear your befuddled brain.
