Quetzalc\u00f3atl
https:\/\/mythus.fandom.com\/wiki\/Quetzalcoatl<\/p><\/div>\n

Quetzalc\u00f3atl era el dios de la sabidur\u00eda, las artes y muchas otras cosas. Se pensaba que su cuerpo era un combinaci\u00f3n de un verde quetzal p\u00e1jaro y una serpiente. Por eso, Quetzalc\u00f3atl se llama ‘la serpiente emplumada’ en espa\u00f1ol.<\/p>\n

Quetzalcoatl was a god of wisdom, the arts and many other things. It was thought that his body was a combination of a green quetzal bird and a serpent. For that reason, it is called the ‘feathered serpent’ in Spanish.<\/em><\/p>\n

La serpiente emplumada o Quetzalc\u00f3atl es una dualidad. El p\u00e1jaro simboliza el elemento aire. La serpiente representa el elemento tierra. En el mundo Maya y Azteca, el aire representa el Supramundo y la tierra representa la Inframundo. Los dos mundos son conectados en el dios Quetzalc\u00f3atl. ‘C\u00f3atl’ en lengua n\u00e1huatl significa dos y\u00a0 gemelos, por eso la serpiente ten\u00eda dos cabezas. La cabeza de la derecho significa el sol. La cabeza izquierda representa la noche. Las lenguas de las dos cabezas se tocaban y representan que todo est\u00e1 contectado. En otras palabras, todos somos un micro cosmos y un macro cosmos al mismo tiempo.<\/p>\n

The feathered serpent or Quetzacoatl is a duality. The element of the bird symbolizes the air. The element of the serpent symbolizes the Earth.<\/em> In the Mayan and Aztec world, the air represents the Supramundo and the land represents the inframundo<\/em> The two worlds are connected in the god Quetzalcoatl. ‘Coatl’ in the n\u00e1huatl language means ‘two’ and ‘twins’. That is why the serpent had two heads. The head on the right signifies the sun. The head on the left represents the night. The tongues of the two heads are touching and represents that everything is connected<\/em>. In other words, everybody is a micro and macrocosm.<\/p>\n

Quetzalc\u00f3atl
World History Encyclopedia<\/p><\/div>\n

Quetzalc\u00f3atl ense\u00f1\u00f3 a toda la gente a hacer joyas y alfarer\u00eda. Todos\u00a0 amaban a Quetzalc\u00f3atl, y pensaban que \u00e9l era fantastico. Pero hab\u00eda Dioses que estaban celosos. Uno se llamaba Tezcatlipoca, que era el dios del \u2018espejo humeante\u2019 o uno que no era como aparentaba. Los Dioses hicieron una fiesta para el pueblo y ellos invitaron a Quetzalc\u00f3atl. Los Dioses dijeron a Quetzalc\u00f3atl, \u201cVamos a hacer una fiesta para que podamos estar todos juntos y estar bien\u201d. Quetzalc\u00f3atl dije, \u201cClaro, todo est\u00e1 bien\u201d. Quetzalc\u00f3atl lleg\u00f3 y disfrut\u00f3 la fiesta.<\/p>\n

Tezcatlipoca Jean Vervelle jvervelle@gmail.com<\/p><\/div>\n

Quetzalcoatl taught all of the people jewelry and potttery. All of the people loved Quetzalcoatl and thought he was fantastic. But there were gods who were jealous. <\/em><\/p>\n

One called Tezcatlipoca, who was a god of \u2018smoky mirrors\u2019 or one who was not as he appeared. The gods created a fiesta for the town and they invited Quetzalcoatl. They said to Quetzalcoatl, \u201cWe are going to have a fiesta to be all together and to be fine. He said, <\/em>\u201c Sure, all is fine.\u201d Then <\/em>Quetzalcoatl arrived and enjoyed the fiesta. <\/em><\/p>\n

Durante la fiesta, Quetzalc\u00f3atl bebi\u00f3 chocolate, pero Tezcatlipoca hab\u00eda puesto pulque y el hechizo en su bebida de chocolate. Quetzalc\u00f3atl se puso muy borracho. El pr\u00f3ximo d\u00eda cuando Quetzalc\u00f3atl se despert\u00f3, se dio cuenta que cuando estaba borracho hab\u00eda hecho algo malo y estaba muy avergonzado. As\u00ed que sal\u00edo del pueblo y camin\u00f3 hac\u00eda el mar.<\/p>\n

He drank chocolate, but Tezcatlipoca had put pulque and a spell in his chocolate drink. Quetzalcoatl became very drunk. The next day when Quetzalcoatl woke up, he realized that when he was drunk,\u00a0 he had done something bad and was very ashamed. So he left the town and walked towards the sea.

Los estudiantes de Quetzalc\u00f3atl vieron que se hab\u00eda ido y caminaron atr\u00e1s de \u00e9l. Cuando Quetzalc\u00f3atl lleg\u00f3 al mar, ve\u00eda que lo hab\u00edan seguido. Los estudiantes le preguntaron a Quetzalcoatl, \u201cA donde vas?\u201d<\/p>\n

Quetzalcoatl hizo una balsa de serpientes y subi\u00f3 la balsa y se fue al mar.
para Gilbert James<\/p><\/div>\n

\u00c9l dijo, \u201cNecesito irme ahora porque no merezco estar aqui, pero un d\u00eda regresar\u00e9. Quetzalc\u00f3atl se quit\u00f3\u00a0 los collares y se los puso a sus estudiantes para\u00a0 les transmitirles su sabidur\u00eda a ellos. Despu\u00e9s Quetzalc\u00f3atl hizo una balsa de serpientes y se sub\u00edo sobre ella y se adentr\u00f3 al mar. En el\u00a0 momento exacto que el desapreci\u00f3 en el horizonte, el planeto Venus aparecio,\u00a0 volvi\u00e9ndose Quetzalc\u00f3atl el planeta Venus.<\/p>\n

His students saw that he gone and walked behind him. The students said to Quetzalcoatl, <\/em>\u201cWhere are you going?\u201d He said, \u201cI need to go because I don’t deserve to be here, and one day I will return.\u201d <\/em>Quetzalcoatl took his\u00a0 necklaces off and put them on\u00a0 his students and transmitted his wisdom to them. Then Quetzalcoatl made a raft of snakes,climbed on top of it and went into the sea. He disappeared in the horizon. At the moment he disappeared, the planet Venus appeared on the horizon, becoming Quetzalcoatl, the planet himself.<\/em><\/p>\n

Quetzalc\u00f3atl se volvi\u00f3 el planeto Venus. \u00c9l es la estrella de la mana\u00f1a y la estrella de la tarde. Para la cultura Azteca, para la cultura Tolteca, para la cultura Maya,\u00a0 Quetzalc\u00f3atl es el hermano mayor del sol. Antes de amanecer, Venus (Quetzalc\u00f3atl) est\u00e1 ah\u00ed en el cielo del este. Despu\u00e9s del atardecer, Venus es la estrella del atardecer en el cielo del oeste. Por eso Venus (Quetzalc\u00f3atl) es el hermano mayor del sol.<\/p>\n

Quetzalcoatl became the planet Venus. He is the morning star and the evening star. For the Aztec culture, for the Toltec culture and for the Maya culture, Quetzalcoatl is the older brother of the sun. Before sunrise, Venus is there in the eastern sky, after sunset, Venus is the evening star to the West. For this, Venus (Quetzalcoatl) is the older brother of the sun.<\/em><\/p>\n

Cuando se fue, Quetzalc\u00f3atl dijo que un d\u00eda\u00a0 regresar\u00eda. Desafortunadamente, cuando los espanoles llegaron en 1519, Montezuma II, el gobernante de los Aztecas, invit\u00f3 Cort\u00e9s, el conquistador espa\u00f1ol a la cuidad porque \u00e9l pens\u00f3 que Cort\u00e9s era Quetzalc\u00f3atl y hab\u00eda regresado. Esto comenz\u00f3 trescientos a\u00f1os de ocupaci\u00f3n de M\u00e9xico por los espa\u00f1oles.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When he left, Quetzalcoatl said that one day he would return. Unfortunately, when the Spanish arrived, Montezuma II, the Aztec king, invited Cortes, the Spanish conqueror into the city, because he thought Cort\u00e9s was Quetzalcoat y he had returned. This began three hundred years of\u00a0 occupation of Mexico by the Spanish.<\/p>\n
