Quetzalcoatl was an ancient Aztec god. You can read more information about him at Wikipedia.
In short, Quetzalcoatl (Q) comes from the Nahuatl language and means “feathered-serpent.” Not a lot is known about Q except that the serpent deity was based in the central Mexican religious center of Cholula. According to lore, Q was related to gods of the wind, of Venus, of the dawn, of merchants and of arts, crafts and knowledge. He was also the patron god of the Aztec priesthood, of learning and knowledge.
The "feathered serpent" description is the giveaway. To be considered “god-like” this serpent would have to be huge… something that a number of people witnessed… And it couldn’t just be seen, but there had to be an loud impact… Some kind of "proof" that the god exists and wasn’t just a figment of their imagination.
The theory I have is that Q was actually a very large UFO. As the craft entered Earth’s atmosphere, it broke into flames and began its long descent, flaming, smoking and spiraling out of control. If this thing was multiple football fields in size, from the ground, it could very well look like a flaming serpent head, and the spiral smoke trails could be interpreted as feathers. Of course a ship of this size is going to make a big impact when it crashes and probably take out a lot of innocent people in the process. Keep in mind most of these people have probably never seen anything like this in their lives, let alone watch it crash into their society and kill a bunch of people. Heck if I were there at the time, I’d probably bow down to as my god as well.
Now if you were going to worship this “god.” You’d want to build your temple as close to the crash site as possible, right? It turns out that there are a number of sites in Mexico dedicated to the worship of Q. The most important center was in Cholula, where the largest pyramid was dedicated to worshiping him.
Figuring ground zero from the crash had to be pretty close to that temple, I went to google maps and entered "Cholula, Puebla, Mexico" in the directions (you can try this out if you want as well). Next I clicked the "Satellite" button so I could see what terrain looked like from overhead. Lo and behold, 3.5 Kilometers to the left of the Great Pyramid of Choula is a giant, mysterious hole in the ground… an anomaly to the terrain surrounding it.
Most on board the craft probably died on impact, but some (maybe just one) could have survived. Maybe they jettisoned right before impact, or perhaps one or two actually survived the crash. The survivor(s) would most likely then turn the Aztecs into their “workers,” using them to either help them excavate and rebuild their craft or build a new craft from scratch. In exchange the alien(s) taught the Aztecs everything they knew about calendars, the sky, metal work etc. etc. When the new ship was completed, the alien(s) took the Aztec's greatest minds aboard and blasted off to their next adventure.
As legend has it, when Q "took off," Aztec society began to fall.
This is very interesting.
ReplyDeleteI did check out the map that you are talking about and from satellite view it looks like a large depression in the land, but if you flip the switch to terrain view, you can see its actually a small mountain with a farm ontop.
I love this stuff.
Quetzelcoatl was an entity made known by near proximity, not by visual identification. The same entity is now again in local proximity. It is known as a dragon because it bites and breathes fire, and consumes innocents. The stone that carries it is tiny, and not a spacecraft. Humans are so carried away with excitement about technology they think the whole universe is full of it — but it's us that's full of it, not the skies. Q is one half of a 'following pair' as is and was known to many Native Indian groups.
ReplyDeleteThis has happened many times in the past, and each time flying snake cults arose around the world, not because of what is seen with the eyes, but because of what is seen with the blind self inside us. As our species no longer sees this way, we do not stop to consider that others did. Ours is starting to, again, however, and soon it will become clear that the myths of our histories refer to actual events that take place on cycles. One of these involves the return of 'slayer of alien gods' and his 'brother' 'water child'. These are, essentially, quetzel and xolotl.
Quetzalcoatl had a twin. My guess is there were probably TWO ships and not one. And the fact that the great 'Q' was worshiped means he/it survived the impact, so I doubt there was a crash. Maybe the ship entered the atmosphere at such a speed it looked like a giant fire ball hurtling toward the earth. Maybe that is what the people depicted. Then again, if what you say is true and it was a ship, it probably looked like this:
