Question: What are the problems of trying to associate Quetzalcoatl with Jesus Christ?
Despite the enthusiasm of some earlier researchers, the Quetzalcoatl as Christ link has substantial problems
Chief among these is the fact that most writers have not used the original sources of the Quetzalcoatl myths, but have relied on secondary sources—these sources often came via the Spanish, who likewise had an interest in seeing Christian parallels with native Amerindian myths.
When the original sources are studied, it becomes clear that the Christian parallels to Quetzalcoatl are not as significant as some authors have previously thought.
