Question about aztec/mayan god who's coming symbolized the end-times?
1 Name's spelling is Quetzalcóhuatl. 2 It was not Cortés. In all Aztec city there was only one who thought Cortés was him, Motecuzoma (and not Montezuma). Many people between the Totonac, Aztec, Mayan, etc, thought it was Cortés because he arrived precisely the day of Quetzalcoatl's birth: Ce-Acatl, "one reed", in fact this is other name of Quetzalcóhuatl(and not the day one rabbit). 3Haven't you been in Chichén Itzá yet? The snake you see on the pyramid means precisely the return of Kukulkan (Kukul-feather, Kan-snake, in old Mayan tongue, in the Quiché it is Guku-matz, in nahuatl it's Quetzal-Cóhuatl). 4Rico: It's not Hunab Ku but Huhna-Pú. And there is enough prove Quetzalcóhuatl's philosophy is as old as Teotihuacan culture. The Toltec King was just this guy's priest, one of many representing his philosophy here in Earth.

Maya, aztecas and incas are three widely known civilizations of america but there are other less known that are as important as them, like olomech and toltech, and may be usefull for you to have a better understanding of the time span and geography of pre-Columbian america.Generally speaking and answering your question, the three have in common a technology that resemble the pre roman european techology in many aspects.

What are your thoughts on a possible Aztec/Mayan connection with Hindu India?
I think that there was some link or connection between these two distant civilization. Following are the reasons on which I base my theory:Some 35years back I had read in an essay that people who settled in Mexico had sailed from far East.Around 1977 I had seen a figure in an article in Scientific American depicting Mayan figure which very much looked like Flying Hanuman(from Ramayana story) with a hill in his hand.If one looks into the worship of female God, there is lots of similarity in South American and Indian mythology.In the story of Mahabharata there is mention of heroes going to under world, also called PATALA and getting married.There is similarity in celebrating/worshiping deads.If one looks at the temple architect of South India and that of Aztec, there is lots of similarities. I understand what all these are circumspect points. But more research is needed to investigate the subjects. Indians were also very skilled ship builders and navigators.
Is there any connection with Quetzalcoatl and Satan (Lucifer)?
No. Quetzalcoatl is a symbol of Enlightenment. The Plumed Serpent has more in common with the Caduceus of Hermes than Satan. Queztalcoatl leads humanity out of the darkness of this world to higher realities beyond.
