Quetzalcoatl, Kukulcan or Itzamna?

I’m doing research for my talk at the Edgar Cayce Forum, THE YUCATAN CONNECTION TO ATLANTIS AND LEMURIA USING CAYCE CLUES AND MYTHOLOGY on September 29th at 7:30 p.m. at Edgar Cayce’s A.R.E. in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

The myth of the creator god Itzamna interests me. But, who was Itzamna? He sounds similar to Kukulcan who is supposed to be the Maya version of Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent. But is he?

Itzamna on War, Violence, and Human Sacrifice

In the Yucatan Travel Movie, a continual thread of Maya mythology runs throughout with information about, carvings in Mayan ruins, and images of Itzamna, the ancient Maya creator god. Although Itzaman is thought of as being a god of the ancient Maya, I also discovered that there continues to be a reverence for him among modern Maya. I heard one woman say that her grandparents used to honor Itzamna.

As founder of Mayan culture, Itzamna refused to have anything to do with wars, violence, or human sacrifices.
