Re: My Caesar! Jesus
In reply to Kathulos (msg # 6):
I think this is a more fascinating theory. The serpeant god aspect has been mostly debunked, I think. The belief was that Quatzocatl was a bearded god with white skin. It is not a theory I've looked into closely, just one I heard in passing about 25 years ago.
Orson Scott Card adopted this theory in his science fiction short story "America," which has a guy named "Carpenter" and a guy named "Quatzocatl" named after the mesoamerican god.
