Kukulkán is a god of Mayan folklore.The name Kukulkan means “feathered serpent”, like his Aztec equivalent Quetzacoatl.
Kukulkán is god of the four elements. His attributes, each representing one element, are a maize-ear (earth), a fish (water), lizard (fire), and vulture (air).
Kukulkán has a human form and a feathered serpent form. Mayans believed that he came to Earth to teach them agriculture and medicine.
Like all of the feathered serpent gods in Mesoamerican cultures, Kukulkan is thought to have originated in Olmec folklore.
Mayan relics make reference to a person named Kukulkan, which has led to some confusion about whether or not the god is referenced in certain instances.
The general Mayan god Kukulkan is not well-known, with only his Gukumatz counterpart surviving in the Popol Vuh, and Quetzalcoatl surviving from accounts of the Aztecs...
Kukulkán is depicted as a plumed serpent or with a long nose and serpent fangs...
Kukulkán emerged from the ocean, and disappeared in it afterwards.
