The figure of the winged serpent, which may remind some breeds of dragons,
is of paramount importance in the myths of Central America pre-Columbian period. Note
deity Quetzal has probably influenced the winged god Mexican Amphitere. Just in Mexico, La Venta, Olmec capital, a nation of astronomers who lived in Mexico 3500 years ago, was found a sculpture of a plumed serpent, mentioning the indigenous myths as a god and place him alongside the wise men light skin, who are dressing like snakes covered with feathers and that they would reach Mexico on large ships without oars. These mysterious individuals from Caucasian traits were represented in La Venta in twenty large sculptures. With the peoples of Central America the feathered serpent is seen as the bearer of civilization, a teacher of astronomy and architecture. That's according to the legends of the Mayan serpent god brought the art of the pyramids in Mexico, and these same laws describing the pyramids as a means of transforming the soul after death, with vague correlations with Egypt . In Egypt, in fact, was found a representation of a human soul that rests on a feathered serpent and the ancient local myths the dragon Apep ruled the world of darkness.
