Well, I can absolutely tell you Buddha is not the same as Jesus, Mohammed, Kukulcan, or Quetzecoatl. In fact, none of them are the same.
Kukulcan is usually referred to as "Him Whose Name Must Not Be Spoken But Only Whispered" and is the supreme god of Mayan culture. Quetzecoatl is a lesser Mayan god, a rain god. You worshipped Kukulcan through him or another lesser god because you could not worship Kukulcan directly.
Buddha is not a god at all, but rather a symbol of enlightenment and Nirvana. He is the founder of Buddhism, but not a god.
Mohammed was a prophet who lived some 600 years after Jesus.
Jesus was a man who became the King of the Jews and was killed for subversion. Whether he was the son of a God or not, he most certainly said some very good things in his lifetime.
So to answer your question, none of them are the same.
Edit: Ah, now I see what you meant. But the answer is still no. Kukulcan is the supreme Mayan God and Quetzecoatl is a lesser Mayan god. Buddha has no relationship to gods at all, and Mohammed never claimed to be nor was he the son of a god.

They have to be the same divinity they were just represented differently because each atmosphere dealt with politics and society the way they knew how. Quetzalcoatl in Mayan is gugametz and he is the one who took the corn kernal from the red ants and became an ant and from the seed came the people of quiche. The Aztecs followed the order divination and inherited the name from Tula. The tollans also had an emperor named Quetzalcoatl. They also inherited the divinity from the Teotihuacanos. It is said the the feathered serpant was made known in B.C by the Olmeca or the rubber people

Kukulkan and Queztalcoatl are definitely the same person. Both names mean "Feathered Serpent" (In Mayan and Aztec). Some think that Jesus, during his lost years, came to the New World and that he is the source of the Feathered Serpent myth. (I don't believe that.)
I have never heard anything about Mohammed and Buddha being the same person as each other or as Jesus. They are SIMILAR to Jesus in that they are all really holy men who now have religions named after them. But Buddhism is VERY different from Christianity or Islam. And of course the native religions of Mexico are even more different than any of the others.
If you're trying to write a paper, a compare-and-contrast would be a good topic, but it might be overkill to try to fit all 4 men into one mold.

I'm muslim and according to our beliefs they definatley are not the same person. As one of the previous people answered all of the above people came at different times. In Islam we believe that Prophets were sent from time to time throughout history for the guidance of man. As such in the Quraan (our holy book) there are referrences to Jesus as we believe that he was also a Prophet sent down during his time period to guide man. Mohammed came after him as the final messenger to mankind. We also believe that before the end of time Jesus will come back to complete his life and defeat the anti-christ.

You do not know much about different religions. Check on who is considered the ''son of G-d'', then ask the question again.

How could you even remotely think that!! They are different men. I will not tell you about them, because since me and you are of different beliefs, you will not agree with me.
