>Quetzalcoatl is sometimes depicted as a white man(light hair, fair skin and standing 7 ft tall) looking nothing like the mesoamerican people who worshipped him
>Moctezuma II initially believed the landing of Hernán Cortés in 1519 to be Quetzalcoatl's return.

Has Nordicism (and Afrocentrism) ever been based on anything else than finding epics and stories as well as art in the form of things like statues and drawings from ancient civilizations that happens contains markers for the race you want to shill for?
Methods such as DNA-testing and other ones based on modern science.
It's not like all the Native Americans from North America look more white than white people or anything....
Chinese sailors arriving to the americas are a myth.Please stop being like afrocenterist and saying "RE RUZ AZRECS AND SRIT SENPAI".
