Fair Gods and Stone Faces
Fair Gods and Stone Faces | Constance Irwin
1 post | 1 read
Puts forth a theory that the Aztecs, Mayas, and Incas and earlier peoples from whom these groups drew much of their culture, did not spring up independently, but as a result of pre-Columbian transatlantic contact between the Old World and the New. Archaeologists have unearthed colossal stone negroid heads; reliefs depicting priests with semitic features; indications of snake, sun, and cat cults and objects found to antedate the Maya epoch.

“The names of the Fair Gods, Quetzalcoatl in the Aztec language, Kukulcan in the Mayan, and Gucumatz in the Quiche all have an identical meaning: “the feathered serpent, the snake covered with feathers, the green-feathered snake.“
