Best Answer

Such serpent is Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent. It is a deity belonging to the Aztec pantheon and some of the myths surrounding it include the legend that he was born through a virgin birth, and took the appearance of a white, bearded man who taught Aztecs how to write books and follow the calendar; gave them the knowledge of maize (corn) cultivation, and is sometimes considered as a symbol of death and resurrection. He left the Aztecs promising to return at a later date. His story is particularly reminiscent to one of the more modern religions: Christianity.
