Answer 2

Gosh, Just "Goggle" it! At very least, you'll find out where to get sources:
In Maya mythology, Gukumatz ("feathered serpent") was a feathered snake god, one of all three groups of gods who created Earth and humanity. He taught mankind civilization and agriculture. Gukumatz was the K'iché Maya name for the deity in the highlands of what is now Guatemala; in Yucatán he was known as "Kukulcan". He was the Maya equivalent of the central-Mexican Quetzalcoatl (see that article for a longer discussion of this Mesoamerican Deity). All these names mean specifically "quetzal-feathered serpent".

Gukumatz was a culture hero who taught the Toltecs, and later the Maya, the arts of civilization, including codes of law, agriculture, fishing and medicine. He came from an ocean, and eventually returned to it. According to Mayan legend, Gukumatz will return to the Earth during the End times. He also represents the forces of good and evil, similar to the yin-yang paradigm of Oriental religions.

Gukumatz was a god of the four elements of fire, earth, air and water, and each element was associated with a divine animal or plant:

* Air --Vulture
* Earth --Maize
* Fire --Lizard
* Water --Fish

In Mayan writing and sculpture, Gukumatz can be represented by at least six symbolic images. First, he is found as the plumed serpent. He can also be represented as an eagle, a jaguar, a pool of blood, a conch shell or snail, and finally as a flute made of bones.

Modern Influences

* In the Star Trek Animated Series episode How Sharper Than a Serpent's Tooth Captain Kirk and crew run into a being who claims to be Kukulkan the ancient god of the Mayan and Aztec peoples of Earth. He states he is actually a very long-lived benevolent entity who wants the humans to worship him just as the Mayans and Aztecs did centuries ago.
* In Final Fantasy X-2, Gucumatz is a basilisk-like enemy.

Answer 4

They are the same god in two different dialects. Both mean Feathered Serpent, just as Quetzalcoatl does in Nahuatl (Aztec).
Some people misspell it Kulkulcan, or even put a K in can, so you might have to search under a few spellings. But any search engine will give you lots of links, and any image search will bring you to pictures.
