Mesoamerican teacher gods, both portrayed as bearded white men which implies possible pre-columbian contact between the Old and New Worlds, likely the Phonecians. Ties into Olmec myth as well as a counterpart in the Inca, in essence you're talking about teacher gods who provided the predecessors to the Mayans and Aztecs with a great deal of knowledge that was lost because of the Spanish

@Scootaloo Yeah, exactly.

It's a historical fact, the Spanish Conquistadors basically wiped out the Aztecs and what was left of the Mayans and their culture
Not helped by the fact that they had some, uh, carvings of a certain piece of male anatomy in some of their temples... no I am not kidding
Trust me, not fun to look up half of this stuff.
