Love Mayan and Aztec mythology a subject not discussed as much as Egyptian or Greek mythology. Don't think people understand how enriched and complex the Mayan and Aztec Pantheon of gods really is
Embarking on a journey of storytelling and video experimentation. VideoGPT gracefully entered the scene, effortlessly adding a layer of professionalism to my content.
Right I really want mesoamerican mythology to be popular
@@sexilatinoboi69 I’m an artist that paints Mayan and Aztec murals using their traditional art style. I also do individual paintings if you are interested
Well we’ll see it with kratos in a few years
100% agreed. Aztec/mayan mythology deserves more attention. My favorites are Aztec , Christian and Norse mythology.
i visited Chichin Itza over twenty years ago. A stunning place. I actually climbed the pyramid (which i know can't be done any more due to accidents) and its nice to know more about Maya spirituality.
Thought this was a monster hunter video for a sec. But I learned a really cool history lesson instead ^^ amazing video love the art and history.
As a mexican, I felt at home with Monster Hunter's glyphs
What's with the influx of AI voiced content TH-cam is pushing my way? Where my real voiced historians at?
Sorry I’m late but this has been a big problem for the last couple years; around the same time all those movie recap videos started getting me popular; they’re all made from “ad farms” in the east where it’s a couple accounts run by one person that make ai synopses of whatever topic it is and the owner of the channels just fills in the video with random no copyright clips. It’s gotten really bad now with how fast Ai is growing to the point you really only need a prompt on what you want the video to be and it will pop something like this out.
TLDR: None of these kinds of videos are made by real people; just Chinese ai advertising/view farms
Its cheaper especially if they cant pronounce the words through nuances. You can copy your voice now as well.
I had not fully recognized this trend. I disagree with it and will be giving my views, likes and subscribes to those who abstain. Just truly a “wow didn’t realize that was happening” thought
Facts. I hate that shit
Try using time operators in your search term... Like as follows: kukulklan mythology before:2018
Mayan mythology will forever fascinate! ❤Beautiful culture and stories.
People are fascinated a LOT in Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Canaanite, etc. We need to give Mayans, Aztec, Toltec & Incan recognition.
But his enemies call him...... NAMOR!!!
😂
Im waiting for this comment 😂😂
Actually in the comics Kukulkan is another mutant and not the same person as Namor, unlike in the cinematic universe.
😂😂
What’s this a reference to?
@@giggityeffyouBlack P
As a Mexican myself. I’m always learning new things about my cultures past
Not just Mexican culture but Guatemalan culture as well. Guatemala and few parts of Mexico close to Guatemala still speak those old Mayan languages. Up north of Mexico is where the culture starts to disappear but down south is where the culture was really at. Mexico and Guatemala has a lot in common like it or not.
Yours is Astecs. Please keep us apart.
Quetzalcóatl pronunciation- KET TZAL CÓ @.
The L in the end of any word if comes after a T, is omitted in the nahuatl language. That's why you can make the exact sound as @ at. Even the word Náhuatl is a good example;
NáU@/NáUat. H is omitted if comes after a vowel letter, but also, the U carries the sound than in english is obtained by spelling two O letters one after another.
Ket is the sound of Quet .
Tzal is the sound of Zal. And Co-@, or; Có at, is the sound of; Cóatl.
My pleasure!
Why spell it that way then?
@@TonyMarselle what way are you talking about?
I'm just trying to help with the pronunciation because I know Náhuatl language is a little harder than Spanish for english speakers, and the way I do is using letters, which in English sound the most accurate possible to the correct pronunciation of the subject in the original language.
If I write Quetzalcóatl in the way that it sounds when is spelled by a english speaking person, I would write down like this;
Cooet zal quato.
Same being with a different name(and language);
Kukulkán although is way easier, it would be Ku cool cán.
Very interesting, thank you. Love learning new things 😮😁
The L isnt omitted, the TL combo makes a unique sound that idk how to describe in text. Its like you position your tongue to pronounce the T in ‘tap’, hold it there and blow air in the on either side of the tongue
Absolutely losing it that you let the AI pronounce “Quiche” like the French egg pie, oh my god
From India❤❤❤
I love different cultures especially Mayan.
We share many Similar values like shredding of skin of snake being a symbol of reincarnation, death and rebirth etc.
I love this culture so much I'm so glad I'm a part of it
I've gained so much interest in last year
🌬️🔥
Me too!!!!!!
🤘😎😈
How is that possible? I thought the culture collapsed, the teachings lost, the population dispersed, and the temples and cities abandoned?
Yeah, the bloodline is still around, and some buildings are still known, but I thought that was about it?
@@danorris5235 that's just the tip of the iceberg
Ancient American culture is so rich, I pray more power and life to the remaining Natives.
I just got back frome there what an amazing journey and learning the Mayan culture.
Howl!! Zabimaru!
That looks like Renji's Bankai in Bleach.
That’s the Aztec Sun Stone at the beginning of the video.
Thank you for this video
Great info
What about Macaulay Kukulkan?
At 6:03 one of the gods contains Pokémon balls . I'm assuming mayans designed the poke ball first. 🤔. I thought it was an observation worth mentioning.
Feathered serpent = Dinosaur ~ 😎🍻
Thank you! 🙏
Love Mayan Mythology!!!!! ❤
It's not a myth it's real.. here in South Africa it's always seen by spiritual gifted people especially the ones who are initiated in rivers and ocean
I have met an Alien, he was a Serpent God, i think hes the same Serpent Deity that lived in The Plumed Serpent, The Winged Serpent, The Feathered Serpent, Quetzalcoatl, Kukulkan, Hermes ect, i believe he came to me in his original form... he presented him self as "I am The Serpent God", it terrified me and i was finding it hard to believe what was happening was real, we got to the part about why he was here, he said he liked me because he thought i was perfect, i found this hard to believe because of the failures in my life, so i asked him why he thought that and he explained/showed me that everything in my life happened for a reason and that he was tormenting/controlling someone i know called Russell that i thought was the cause of this mess i was in, while he was telling me this he showed me an image of Russell with his back turned towards us with his head down like he was sad and the serpent was looking over him, he said "Russell isnt perfect" so he did not like him because his life didnt happen for a reason.
I have seen this serpent in a dream years before i met him irl, he was huge like 10-30 meters big with a dragon head and was levitating in mid air, he was constructing the Egyptian Pyramids and teleported me inside into the middle at the top of one and was sliding huge minibus sized blocks into place with his mind, he was letting me know all this without telling me. when i met him in real life he was a smaller version in a green hologram about a meter long floating there in my room, but where i truely saw him for his full self i think was my imagination he alterd so i could see it infront of me like a movie, he was so animated and expressive like a Disney cartoon villain he sounded exactly the way you would imagine a serpent to speak, his voice sounded a little bit electric and he was definitely a male, its hard to explain or mimic but if you heard him you would think that it fits him.
I realized he only liked perfect things, which is why i honestly believe he built them pyramids because they where perfect so if anyone did, it was him. I could also communicate with him telepathically without even having to come up with words to explain he could just read my mind, he controlled my mind and made me look at the wall then used my vision disturbances to show me a human figure with these over grown Beatles with antennas hanging onto her he said was my ex girl friend being raped by aliens, he also taught me a lesson to think and look forward so i could focus in the manic state i was in and if i slipped up or did something wrong like check in with voices from other directions he would go arrrgh like a irritated growl sort of thing and when i did something right he would say "perfect" (he said this alot).
I got the vibe he wanted me to like him since he picked the two people i most disliked at the time, i also want to add when he was controlling me i felt a headache/dull/sickness feeling and i couldnt think outside the box like he was blocking my mind from stopping him doing this. i also heard during this episode (after he left) by voices he was controlled by aliens, he was extremely quick and smart replying with perfect instant answers and i hope to meet him again one day it was one of the most amazing things iv ever experienced.
I made a video of him, its the closest picture to resembling what he looks like - th-cam.com/video/VxQN2R6NplU/w-d-xo.html
Interesting comment! I truly believe your experience was legit, if you don't mind I would like to tell you about the One and Only True God creator of this entity you met, otherwise known as Lucifer, a fallen angel who was once a High Ranking entity in the Heavenly realm of God who was cast out for rebelling against his creator. If you care to know and believe with an open mind, pick up a Bible and read the first book of Genesis and you will find out why he called you perfect! You see in God's eyes we were the perfect creation to be just like our Creator God! We are spiritual beings caught up in a spiritual war between 2 entities or aliens as you would say, God and Satan or Lucifer, also referred to as a Serpent or Great Dragon which is where most of these other religions or mythology get there ideas from, trust me it ain't no myth, if you read the last Book of the Bible which is called Revelation you will also see more description of this entity you met. But here is the ringer, God is in full pursuit of his most precious possession and that is you and I which in turn the other entity wants you to believe he has your best interest in mind and has deceived many in believing you are your own god and don't need anything or anyone! It just so happened that we fell out of perfection because we made a poor choice which brought eternal death to what was made perfect and that choice was "Sin" which was the sales pitch we bought from the lie that was given to us in the beginning of that first book in the Bible if you dare to read it. In conclusion God wants to redeem his prized possession and restore us back to a perfect state but the only way it could be done is by accepting His one and only perfect sacrifice Jesus Christ his son. Who came into this cursed earth and lived a perfect life, died in turn for our poor choice and makes us Right again in God's sight! Forgiven made new once more! But Lucifer or these other entity don't want you or I to know that because they will face a coming judgement where they will be eternally damned and tormented forever! Along with anyone else who rejects this opportunity as they did when they rebelled against God. I pray this brings enlightenment to you
@@lennyturcaz7830hey so I have a question? why would the devil punish people on earth because gods says so? Wouldn’t it be smarter to recruit people to have this holy war? And I don’t understand this gods chosen people shit like they wiped out almost an entire generation of people? And they’re suppose to be gods chosen people apparently? What’s with the demonizing of other indigenous cultures? Honestly starting to believe this whole Abraham religion is just to shun and discredit others
Always fascinated me how different civilizations thousands of miles apart, separated by vast oceans that never interacted with each other all have their own belief in dragon or serpent gods. Really makes you wonder.
It’s in the Bible
Spiritual beings are more visible in those days than now ...simple they have more knowledge than us now...because time pass are knowledge are simply dropping...it is opposite before people have more access in spiritual beings than now..
Mysteries, Hidden knowledge and mythology how beautiful it is
My family is from Northern Hidalgo. I love drinking Pulque. It makes me think of all of ancestors that viewed it as a drink of gods
My grandmother was also from Hidalgo and my family always spoke about pulque and how it was the drink of the gods. Apparently it’s good when one needs to relax and recharge.
I as a snake owner and someone who adores snakes i loved this
I have an idea for my first tattoo now. Definitely getting Kukulkán on my arm.
I find it fascinating that globally. So many different ancient cultures have giant flying serpents in their mythos . 🤔🥃

because satan/lucifer hijacked this World after he cast down from heaven..
The Feathered Serpent. The Winged Dragon of Ra.
No.
No, just no
uhm, no
In chichinitza The sacrifices were only done as teen children would race across the fields from the playing fields to the pillars. Each piillars is the burial place of a sacrificial life, sacrifice of the winer, and they were usually lower class teens and the families of the winning teen would be the lifted to high class living as it was an honor to be sacrificed for many generation of that teens family. Sacrifices were not as it was seen on everyone may think. The Wayans were not a warrior race. Mayans are very small people. They were farmers and mathematicians. Yes, there were warriors but farmer warriors who worked all year round to live and trade. Sacrifices were only done when the red moons would arrive and shine through the two chambers as a symbol that Kukulkan was coming to provide for the mayan farmers. It's a beautiful, spiritual place to visit. I recommend it. Lots of energy and spirituality flowing through the area. It's a beautiful yet very hot place to visit.
Im glad i play smite. I wouldve never took time to look up gods of all religions. I see him and think spirit of the nine winds. Iconic
looks like Kratos isnt done yet
man it would be so fucking cool if the next god of war tackled mesoamerican deities
Wait, I'm confused by the statement "the words 'sky' and 'snake' have the same pronunciation in both English and Mayan. Am i missing something?
Considering how the narration repeats itself a few times, this whole thing feels like an AI generated video.
@@A.Clifton I was afraid of something like that
Mah boi Quetzalcóatl. If one day I have a daughter, my desire is to call her Quetzal, in honor of one of my native deities.
Great video bud! I like your video style!
I remember in Black Panther Wakanda Forever.. Namor is refer to as KuKulkan.
Rise, Talokan!
Yeah, satan in human form aka the anti-christ!
@BiggSheppTheManMythAndLegend bro...
I love this !
The best Marvel villain so far
He told me his name in a dream and when I saw him I wasn’t afraid but unnerved to see and hear him and he wanted to work with me
Be careful l that's the devil in disguise...u know devil can disguise as good beings
Seems like it could be Astrological.. Rahu & Ketu are also an astrological serpent.
Kulikan or Gulikan in Malabar side,
Dragon in many cultures around de world is not a coincidence. species with the ease of materializing
Same with the flood if every culture has described it happening. So i wouldn't be surprised if a dragon like creature existed
Thanks Char
Okay, I was not the only one
Yo Thanks for the Video, it’s well composed and has cool illustrations.
I wonder if the 91 X 3 + 92 was a motif for leap years 🤔❔
Another cool detail: The stone blocks establish acoustic intervals that mimic the sound of a resplendent quetzal bird, which looks like a winged serpent. It’s interesting that Quetzal is a serpent-like bird and coatl means serpent, so there is a redundancy and emphasis on the snake like quality of Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent.
Given there is an ocean on either side separating America from Africa & Europe, how fascinating it is that the Hebrew religion considers the serpent a symbol of wisdom; a snake is a nearly blind creature which has to stay low to the ground. Quetzalcoatl was a healer and teacher, somewhat similar to Thoth of Egypt, who taught the arts of healing, magic, and thaumaturgy. The trickster god of commerce & communication, Mercury, wields a winged serpent staff. There is an overlay between solar gods as well, given the significance of the equinox and the Sun’s path of diminishment and renewal, the promise of his inevitable return. Another fascinating detail: snakes move by oscillating in a fashion that resembles frequency, somewhat like a plucked guitar string.
It’s funny that they considered our movement astronomically snake-like, oscillating to and fro in the precession of the equinoxes and the dance of an elliptical revolving body of the heavens.
Cool
Talk about coincides...I went down to London to capture images at a museum for primary research. At my hotel stay, I met a Chinese guy whom I hooked up with. You would absolutely not guess where his next destination was after London...yup...Pyramid of the Sun. Showed me tons of pictures and I grinned from ear to ear. :)

may favorite god in smite ❤

Crazy how japan has a dragon that is basically a flying snake.....
The Kukulcan was over 1 thousand miles long his Head is in New Mexico and his tail stretches to New York see Mudflood university th-cam.com/video/QKyDzCVnNxA/w-d-xo.html

No.
I don't know how I got here, but it's certainly interesting.
Was my main in smite when I played that game
Revelation 12:9
9 The great dragon was hurled down-that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.
That's why you see serpent symbolism around the world today in many different ancient cultures.
I know much more about the Aztec version of this god and his role in the creation of humans, than the Maya version. I think he is a creator god in the Maya religion too? Also, when you say the words for sky and snake have the same pronunciation in English and Mayan, does that mean the Mayan words for those things sound the same spoken as the English words "sky" and "snake", or that the way English speakers pronounce the Mayan language words is in fact the correct Mayan pronunciation? Great video!
In the Mayan language sky is pronounced Kan, whereas Chikchan translates to snake, so they both kinda sound similar
@@LegendsandMyths444OK thanks!
Depends on the dialect some say kan to mean snake hence the term kukul CAN = feathered serpent, but some refer to serpents as chan rather than kan. Who knows which one is the original way to say it. Also Mayan have the K’ with the ‘ right in front of k and that creates a glottal stop almost sounding like the click sounds in the South African language called Xhosa. So who knows if it’s kan or k’an to distinguish between sky and snake. 🤔 I’m not a Mayan speaker but I have researched the language a bit
Wakanda isn’t gonna be happy about this video 😭
His ultimate hits like a truck, he blew me away one time i thiught i broke my soul 😂
Caracol city is in Belize not Mexico
His enemies call him Namor
Looks like an eastern dragon to me
P good AI voice do you have a link
Now that we know dinosaurs had feathers..hmmm...
No comment about Fate Grand Order Foreigner Kukulkan yet.
Quetzoattle gave those bones The 5 finger discount
Amaruchan also from south american the actual namesake of america land of the plumed serpant
Maruchan the noodle serpent 😅
God be with Mexico
Mayan mythology, *immediately shows Aztec calendar*
I like to see these gods for real one day
I believe they were talking about a Dragon
te amo ahucotl
My friend
Could Kukulkan be the Rigvedic "Vritra" by any chance?
Maybe it was a surviving dinosaur that they encountered one point in time and created this myth.
These aliens 👽👽 masquerading is gods in all religions.
Feather Serpent 😮 -> Ancient Dragon
It's Namor!
No offense, but was this done with AI? The narrator repeats a lot of the same things over and over again =(
Though still thankful for the video. Appreciate what I did learn.
Yeah it was, sorry for the repetitive info, I’ll be sure to work on that. I appreciate the support🙏🏽
@@LegendsandMyths444 aww. Thank you for the sincere honesty. Don’t mind me. But that earnestness earned you a follow. Thank you! Look forward to your next video.
Why not use the Mayan calendar in the opening?
@@em5522 I tried looking for one but I couldn’t find a video for it so this was the only option I had at the time, my apologies for the inconvenience
This was worshipped all over the American south and north the Native American 🇺🇸 often called it the thunder bird just another version of a god
Hail Kukulkan!
He’s the dragon of the Americas.
Mayan version of the god. Starts with Aztec calendar
OLROX in Castlevanyia (Noctorne)
Feathered serpent, sounds like a trick from Lucy. Since serpent used to fly before God force them to the ground.
Surely it is Lucifer....trying to be God...to deceive people
I'm part Mayan and it's not pronounced:
Corn: Maze (wrong)
Its:
Corn: Mah- eez (Right)
It's written Maíz... thought I'd help of gratitude for creating a vid about my people.
The calendar you post is not a my encounter. That's a aztec calendar. 😂lots people get that confused mayan calendar has guy holding bolder
You’re right, that was my mistake
Things of the air be they Egyptian Maya or other are things related to thought and gnosis, things like a serpent who are confined to earth are of the earth thus a winged serpent is the earthly obtaining the air moving ever upwards towards the fire of transformation
Kukulkan is almost equivalent to the Aboriginals Yurlunggur
Leviathan the king of the children of pride.
A.I. voice overs are ruining storytelling and actual pronunciations. Weird and sad. Great topic though.
I just wanna know who came up with this like what did they see to come up with this 👁👄👁
Damn never knew a snake can be a KKk member too 💀
I saw this dude while tripping on mushrooms 🍄🟫 🍄
10:13 similar to the modern day US. Damn.
Bankai maybe?!
Zanka no tachi
Ew are you using AI? Immediately killed any interest I had in this channel
Black Panther Wakanda Forever ruined this for me everytime I hear or think of this god I hear Umbakku voice “KuKu-Kan”
Dragons have similarities with the feather serpent
