Description The powerful feathered serpent, which was venerated as a great deity in all Mesoamerica during the pre-Columbian era, receiving different names in the different areas where the different peoples lived, the most famous being the name of Quetzalcoat, however for the Mayan culture ( that although it was not a unified culture as it is believed, if not a group of independent peoples that shared certain traditions) it was known as Kukulkan, and the city of Chichen Itzá was founded in its name, with the main pyramid that we all know as his greatest honor, obviously named as "Temple of Kukulkan"
Kukulkan esta formado etimológicamente de "k'uk'ulkan" "pluma y serpiente"
