Feathered Serpent (deity)
Okay kiddo, so a long time ago, in a place called Mesoamerica, people believed in a really powerful god called the Feathered Serpent. The Feathered Serpent was thought to be a very important god because he could control important things like the sun, the moon, and even trades like agriculture.
People believed that the Feathered Serpent was a mix of two different animals, a snake, and a bird. This is why he was called the Feathered Serpent. People thought that the snake part of him represented the underworld and that the bird part of him represented the sky.
The Feathered Serpent was often shown in pictures or carvings as having feathers on his head, a snake's body, and big claws. He looked pretty cool!
People would often pray to the Feathered Serpent and make sacrifices to him. They believed that if they did this, he would help them with important things like having good crops, being healthy, and defeating their enemies in battles.
Today, people don't believe in the Feathered Serpent like they used to, but he is still an important part of history and culture in Mesoamerica.
