Part 1 of 5 · freeIntroduction
Quetzalcoatl, the “Feathered Serpent,” is one of the richest figures of pre-Columbian Mexico. He was worshipped for more than two thousand years, from Teotihuacán, the great city of the central plateau, to the Aztecs, and among the Maya under the name Kukulkán.
He joins the earth (the serpent) and the sky (the feather). God of civilization, of knowledge and of moral order, he ends up meeting real history: the Spanish conquest of 1519.
