 The real translation is "Precious Holy Snake" or "Precious Holy Twin" with no evidence of this figure having a beard or being European as New Age people have misinterpreted as being the "Jesus of the Americas".The double symbolism used by the Feathered Serpent is considered allegoric to the dual nature of the deity, where being feathered represents its divine nature or ability to fly to reach the skies and being a serpent represents its human nature or ability to creep on the ground among other animals of the Earth, a dualism very common in Mesoamerican deities.The earliest representations of feathered serpents appear in the Olmec culture (c. 1400–400 BC).
