THOT - TEHUTI
From Sumer to South America
Part 2
THE GOD QUETZALCOATL
"To go a land beyond the oceans Ningishzidda chose, with a band of followers thereto he went Six
hundered and fifty Earth years was at that time the count But in the new domain, wereNingishzidda,the Winged Serpent was called, a new count of its own began".Enki in The Lost Book - Z. Sitchin - Bear and Co.
When Thot went to Americas, he chose what we today call the "mesoamerica", meaning the portion of land which is the bridge between United States of America and Latin America. (See map below).
(image Wikipedia)
As we shall see below, Thot recreated on these lands, with other names, another language and other symbols, exactly what his father Enki taught him: a world of progress and opening, and above all a world connected to the Gods.
He built pyramids, gave the knowledge to the tribes, autochthonous people and he settled with his faithful gods Annunakis the great mesoamerican civilizations: Toltec, Aztec, Mayan and Inca.
Very often these civilizations which are confused one for another, represent still today enigmas, of which I shallalso deal with.

Very often these civilizations which are confused one for another, represent still today enigmas, of which I shallalso deal with.
(image : mythologies du monde entier - Larousse)Because Thot, indeed, protected them for a long time from any fatal influence. And so these pre-Columbian civilizations (before Christopher Columbus discovered America) have developed themselves autonomously during thousands of years.
First of all, some brief points of history and geography.
First of all, some brief points of history and geography.
Mesoamerica has always constituted a cultural and religious unity until the Spanish conquest, in 16th century AD.
In spite of a big variety of nations, of languages, of artistic styles, of peoples, of beliefs, of customs, " the mesoamerican entity " was completely homogeneous.
In spite of a big variety of nations, of languages, of artistic styles, of peoples, of beliefs, of customs, " the mesoamerican entity " was completely homogeneous.
Indeed, if the rites or the gestures differed, their faith, their specific perception of the universe were almost identical, with a pantheon of complicated divinities, a complex calendar, based on a sacred cycle of 260 days within a year of 365.
These civilizations became entangled, overlapped, and were strongly inspired between them. They thus form a remarkable whole.
(Until today, the historians give chronologies, which once more time can differ up to 300 years between! For example, the classic chronology gives birth to the Olmec civilization in 1500 BC. That of Duverger in 1200 BC. Also, certain historians put the Mayas from 1100 BC, when for others, those of Larousse for example, the Mayas only appear after the Olmec and Zapotec, around 300 BC! How to find the truth here? Archaeological excavations would make going back up the Mayan civilization to 3000 BC! You will find a message with chronologies, but with reservations.)
Consequently, I shall repeat once more time.
The most important is to understand this universe, to make the fundamental links with Sumer and Egypt on the other side of the planet, and to be aware of the phenomenal and extraordinary work, because always alive today, made by the Gods Annunakis.
Thot is the worthy heir of his father. Because obviously, he is not only "Quetzalcoatl”, he is the Inspirer of all these civilizations; he gave them the awakening of Consciousness.
Remember that Thot from his father Enki inherited the "gift to make the Verb flesh". So, he is a self-sufficient creative god, he proved it once more time his genius in Mesoamerica. (So what say the reports on these periods is always questionable, especially their explanations of the facts and the chain of the events).
When Thot left Mesoamerica, called back in the Middle East by Enki, the civilizations that he has founded, pined away up to completely disappear.
Because where the Gods abandon us any power, there rise deserts and infertilities. We can progress and build civilizations and prosperity only TOGETHER because our destinies forever are bound.
(Remember the incantation of Ninoursag, when she widely took part in the creation of the first phase of human being, the homo sapiens "1").
Look slightly at the civilizations to focus on Quetzalcoatl.

THE AZTEC CIVILIZATION or the people of the Sun
The Aztecs would have migrated from North towards the central mountains of Mexico. After a long wandering during almost hundred of years around the lake Texcoco, they built the city ofTenochtitlan (now Mexico City), at a height of 2200 m, on an island in the middle of the lake, around 1340/45. Magnificent, called " The floating city, it became the capital of their empire which dominated until 16th century, as it is said, from central Mexico up to the Guatemalan coast.
(Attempt to reproduce Tenochtitlan,
The Aztecs also founded the "City of the Gods " which name is suggestive for whom pays attention:TEOTIHUACAN. (Today part of the World Heritage). It adjoins their capital on 83 km2.
We rather could read or understand: tehuti-huacan, or still the "god Tehuti" or still the god Thot.
Even if one often attributes this city only to the Aztecs, archaeological excavations show that this city was multi-ethnic with different districts for each people: one for Zapotecs, then for the Mixtecs and finally the Mayas. (But only 2 % of the city was systematically subjected to excavations). The first stone of the city would have been put around 300 BC. The pyramid of the Sun would have been finished around 150.(But we have to be cautious with the datings)
(The pyramid of the sun - Wikipédia)
The Aztecs occupied this sacred place, presented as a vast complex widely dominated by thepyramids of the Moon and the Sun, the avenue of the Dead and naturally, the temple dedicated to Quetzalcoatl, famous Plumed Snake.
(Below: the city of gods with the Path of Dead in the centre and the pyramid of the Moon on the left - image Wikipedia).
The Aztecs, whose Art is mainly religious take back, enlarge and decorate the site of Teotihuacan. (The historians contradict themselves: some say that a sketch of the city was already built, and that the Aztecs extend it, others say that they built it from the start).
The city, divided into 4 quadrants and two big routes which cut themselves in the place of " the citadel " and the "whole scheme", constitutes a cosmogram.
Or still another symbolic representation of the world on a horizontal plan, here on the scale of a city, of which the main building is the pivot or vertical axis. We find this type of arrangement inTenochtitlan.
The Aztec domains of preference are the sculpture, the ceramic and the mosaic. These skills are particularly dedicated to the representation of the god Plumed Snake Quetzalcoatl.
(Two of his representations below)
The opened mouth of Quetzalcoatl is not innocent. He is that one of the snake which has the esoteric knowledge, which passes it on. As he can snatch the non-believer.
The snake is associated with Earth and for the Amerindians, the Snake of Clouds and the Woman Snake of Earth (heaven and earth) are the parents of Quetzalcoatl.
Why not a more contemporary representation of the Big Winged Snake?
www.staten-illustration.com/.../Quetzalcoatl.htm
Quetzalcoatl is a kind of snake-bird, the feathers making references to the crowned feathers ofQuetzal. So, by his name, this god is already snake, winged dragon, bird...
Quetzal is the sacred bird of the Mayas. Native from South Mexico and Central America, he symbolizes the freedom, he cannot live in captivity. The legend says that this bird which sang all the time, definitively became silent when the Spanish conquered the continent.
Quetzalcoatl whose name also means " precious twin ", is thus a major divinity of the Aztec pantheon, but he is not an Aztec god. He existed a long time before the emergence of this civilization.
His effectively "archaic" origins make of him an essential god, one of the 4 great creative gods.He would have created, say the Mesoamericans, Heaven and Earth.
(Note immediately the resemblances with Sumer and especially the Annunakis: 4 essential gods. More, Thot, you now know, is a lunar god, connected to the Air element, to the Mercury for the Greco-Roman and by extension to the Gemini sign, and the translation of his name, (coincidence?) is precious twin…)
Not only Thot / Quetzalcoalt has a fundamental role in the myth of the 5 suns, but besides, while he takes on several forms in his appearances, he embodies with strength the god of theWind Ehecatl,benevolent god of Knowledge and of Craftsmen, god of the Twins and Plumed snake. (Below)
(again, our Thot is there : the knowledge, the wind and thus the air, one of his elements, Twins / Gemini, benevolent - we shall find again the symbolism of the Twins in the legend of the " Heroic Twins " of the Mayas)
Still better, the Aztecs assert that it is the god of the Wind Ehecatl who by blowing on the Sun, helps him to rise every day to his zenith for the good of peoples.
(Below the Headgear of Quetzalcoatl when he is God of the Wind - click above to have a correct reading of the legend).
On this archaic, original god, is added the idea of the Plumed snake, the dragon of water, aquatic snake. He reaches his apogee in the city of Teotihuacan, in particular from the 3rd to the 8th centuries AD. (Naturally, you have noted, for a long time now, how much the symbolism of the snake inhabits all the planet since the dawn of times. He is a God or is profoundly connected to them.)
The Plumed snake is associated with the celestial fire, with nature and with water. He is an indispensable duality to the survival of the Humanity. He besides embodies the physical strength, the sexuality and the courage.
God of the fertility, of the rain, God who illuminates by his knowledge, Quetzalcoatl also becomes themorning star and the evening star, future Venus. Moreover, the Toltecs, as it is said, worshipped him under this form, that of the star.
Quetzalcoatl has a twin brother, a god with head of dog, Xolotl. (Would it be there a link with the Egyptian cynocephalus by the head which evokes the dog or is it a tribute made to Anubis with whom he officiated regularly?)
With him, he penetrates into the Worlds of Below, the World beIow that the Aztecs named Mictlan.With the bones of a man and a woman they find, (dead during a previous cataclysm), Thot / Quetzalcoatl creates again the humanity, by spraying on them some blood of his penis.
(it looks like the creation of the homo sapiens sapiens; here the blood of Thot instead of the seed of Enki - note that he goes down "Below", as when he assisted Osiris - he restores life to the dead, as he made it for Horus - finally, it is question of a cataclysm which had annihilated all the humanity, now, the arrival of Thot to Americas follows in the chronology of the Lost Book d' Enki, the Big Flood).
Thot / Quetzalcoatl symbolized the God of the Death and the Resurrection. He has been compared him with Venus after his own immolation. (Symbolism).
Indeed, in the myth of the Plumed Snake, Quetzalcoatl has fought against the human sacrifices and tried to teach his peoples to revere the Gods otherwise than by sacrificing innocent victims.
It is not the point here to be blissful in front of the Mesoamerican monuments and to forget that these peoples were very cruel, particularly the Aztecs, to whom the human sacrifices were common and consisted in extracting the heart of a still alive victim. (Among others)
When Thot arrived to Americas, he found primitive autochtons on their mountains, whom it was necessary to teach everything.
And if the civilization of the architecture or the agriculture settles down quite fast, the equivalence in level of consciousness require centuries of patience.
Quetzalcoatl accepted the rites of worship but without sacrifice. Often, the sacrifices still took place.
(Do not forget that Quetzalcoatl / Ehecatl led every day the sun to his zenith, he thus gives to the Humanity all the light which she needs. The Aztecs as the other tribes, were afraid that without sacrifice to him and Huitzilopochtli, god of the sun, the celestial body refuses to get up and to shine and Quetzalcoatl to push him of his breath. Yes, I know Nahuatl, Aztec language unpronounceable for us).
(the aztec solar disk )
One day, thus, Thot / Quetzalcoatl went to " divine waters ", situated at that time by the Mesoamericans in the Gulf of Mexico, he fasted 4 days and adorned himself with his most beautiful ornaments, then he immolated himself on a funeral stake.
(See the link with the Ibis, which is another form of the Phoenix which at the appropriate moment sacrifices itself then reborn from its ashes).
His heart immediately rose towards Heavens and was transformed into Venus, evening star which guides by its Light the Men. The "legend" says that he became this famous Morning star while tens of birds go out of the flames into which he had thrown himself.
By this gesture, he demonstrated that from Death appears Life. And from Darkness, Light.
Quetzalcoatl had naturally his negative counterpart, his divine enemy: the Lord of the smoking mirror or Tzacatlipoca.
(Tezcatlipoca whose stone eyes allow the god " to see everything ".
This skull is a human skull on which was applied mosaics).
(image Ancient America - TimeLife)
This Tezcatlipoca is in fact a supreme god of the Pantheon. One of the 4 essential. He is omniscient and very powerful. His worship began with the arrival of Toltecs.
This dark god, god of the Night-wind, god of the war, challenged the warriors and embodied the Lord of the Shadows. He often appeared at night in the form of jaguar.
With his magic mirror, he predicted the future, read in the heart of the men, spread poverty and disease. And sometimes also, good fortune.
Quetzalcoatl fought him and their battle engendered a cataclysm.
