Quetzalcoatl ("feathered snake") is the Aztec name for the Feathered-Serpent deity of ancient Mesoamerica, one of the main gods of many Mexican and northern Central American civilizations.
Quetzalcoatl was often considered the god of the morning star and his twin brother, Xolotl was the evening star (Venus).
Quetzalcoatl allegedly went to Mictlan, the underworld, and created fifth world-mankind from the bones of the previous races (with the help of Cihuacoatl), using his own blood to imbue the bones with new life.

 Topiltzin Quetzalcoatl   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The legend of Ce Acatl Topiltzin Quetzalcoatl is debated by anthropologists studying the ancient civilizations of Mesoamerica.
Ce Acatl (or Nacxitl as he is often referred to) was supposedly a priestly ruler of the ancient Toltec state of Tullan, where he assumed the name of Quetzalcoatl (literally meaning "winged serpent") and benevolently bestowed all great things unto human kind.
Some suggest that Mixcoatl conquered Chimalman's (Ce Acatl's mother) people and took her as a wife; others say that Mixcoatl was not able to defeat Chimalman and that she was simply chased into hiding where she consumed an emerald (or other precious stone) that would eventually impregnate her with Ce Acatl (Carrasco 2000:79).

The cult of Quetzalcoatl, the "quetzal-feathered serpent," was prominent in central Mexico from at least the time of Teotihuacán (100–750 CE) to the collapse of the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlán in 1521.

In Aztec Mexico, Quetzalcoatl was the patron god of the schools of higher learning, the calmecacs, and the model for the office of the high priesthood at the Templo Mayor in Tenochtitlán, in front of which his round temple was apparently located.
