There is no legend nor tradition saying that he or any white god build any mesoamerican city. Tenochtitlan was build by the Aztec after an exodus, and we know that the priest that chose the place of the city was named Cuauhtlaquezqui. Same with any mayan city, there is no tradition saying anyone else but mayans build them.
