Redpill me on Quetzalcoatl? He was described as a bearded white man who taught the Aztecs many things? Did whites influence many cultures that we did not know they had? I also read about blonde haired people in Peru I think.

I remember seeing someone on /pol/ saying we wuz incas because of red-haired corpses in Peru. However, red hair can develop in black-haired individuals due to malnutrition, which seems like the most parsimonious explanation.
As far as I've been able to tell, those claims about Quetzalcoatl are pretty much bullshit. No Mesoamerican documents describe him that way, and no Spanish documents talk about it, either, until well after the conquest had happened. And in that context, it was mostly the Spanish talking about how the Aztecs thought of Cortez as a god. It probably started as a colorful way for Spaniards to justify the conquest.

The only reference where he is described that way is in the chronicle of Bernal Díaz del Castillo.
Pic related is a pre-Columbian depiction of Quetzalcoatl (he's on the right).

I'm pretty sure Quetzalcoatl was a feathered flying snake.

Some people from ancient peru painted their hair blonde or red.
For example in the caral and paracas civilizations.
Like we can see in these 4500 years old idols from caral civilization
>Viracocha was described as "a man of medium height, white and dressed in a white robe like an alb secured round the waist, and that he carried a staff and a book in his hands."[7]
I believe they were describing Noah.

Did Noah have a book? I thought antedilluvian society was pre-literate.

Idk, but If you compare genesis to Viracocha legends it's kind of mind blowing. Obviously as migrations happened and the stories were passed down some things probably changed like a game of telephone.
