  • Qʼuqʼumatz (Mayan: [qʼuːqʼuːˈmats]) (alternatively Qucumatz, Gukumatz, Gucumatz, Gugumatz, Kucumatz etc.) was a deity of the Postclassic Kʼicheʼ Maya. Qʼuqʼumatz was the Feathered Serpent divinity of the Popol Vuh who created humanity together with the god Tepeu. Qʼuqʼumatz is considered to be the rough equivalent of the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl, and also of Kukulkan of the Yucatec Maya tradition. It is likely that the feathered serpent deity was borrowed from one of these two peoples and blended with other deities to provide the god Qʼuqʼumatz that the Kʼicheʼ worshipped. Qʼuqʼumatz may have had his origin in the Valley of Mexico; some scholars have equated the deity with the Aztec deity Ehecatl-Quetzalcoatl, who was also a creator god. Qʼuqʼumatz may originally have been the same god as Tohil, the Kʼicheʼ sun god who also had attributes of the feathered serpent, but they later diverged and each deity came to have a separate priesthood. Qʼuqʼumatz was one of the gods who created the world in the Popul Vuh, the Kʼicheʼ creation epic. Qʼuqʼumatz, god of wind and rain, was closely associated with Tepeu, god of lightning and fire. Both of these deities were considered to be the mythical ancestors of the Kʼicheʼ nobility by direct male line. Qʼuqʼumatz carried the sun across the sky and down into the underworld and acted as a mediator between the various powers in the Maya cosmos. The deity was particularly associated with water, clouds, the wind and the sky. Kotujaʼ, the Kʼicheʼ king who founded the city of Qʼumarkaj, bore the name of the deity as a title and was likely to have been a former priest of the god. The priests of Qʼuqʼumatz at Qʼumarkaj, the Kʼicheʼ capital, were drawn from the dominant Kaweq dynasty and acted as stewards in the city. (en)
  • Q'uq'umatz (Mayan: ) (ejaan alternatif Qucumatz, Gukumatz, Gucumatz, Gugumatz, Kucumatz) adalah dewa dalam kepercayaan orang Maya K'iche' pada zaman Pascaklasik. Q'uq'umatz adalah dewa Ular Berbulu dalam kisah Popol Vuh. Ia menciptakan manusia bersama dengan dewa . Q'uq'umatz dianggap sebanding dengan Quetzalcoatl dalam kepercayaan Aztek, dan juga dengan Kukulkan dalam tradisi . Terdapat kemungkinan bahwa dewa ini merupakan serapan dari Aztek atau Yukatek dan dipadukan dengan unsur-unsur dewa lain. Q'uq'umatz awalnya mungkin merupakan dewa yang sama dengan Tohil, yaitu dewa matahari dalam kepercayaan K'iche' yang juga memiliki atribut ular berbulu, tetapi keduanya kemudian menjadi dewa yang terpisah. Menurut kisah Popul Vuh, Q'uq'umatz adalah salah satu dewa pencipta dunia. Q'uq'umatz adalah dewa angin dan hujan, dan sangat terkait dengan Tepeu, dewa petir dan api. Kedua dewa tersebut dianggap sebagai nenek moyang bangsawan K'iche' melalui garis keturunan laki-laki. Q'uq'umatz membawa matahari di langit dan di dunia bawah, dan ia bertindak sebagai penengah antara berbagai kekuatan di alam semesta. (in)
  • Gukumatz è un personaggio primario del Popol Vuh, libro sacro dei Maya. È uno dei personaggi più importanti della saga, compare spesso nello svolgimento dell'opera, in particolare nei capitoli 1 e 5. Stando alla leggenda Kiche, Gukumatz (chiamato anche Hunahpù Utiw) era lo sposo-fratello di (entrambi erano asessuati), e creò insieme a lui il mondo e l'umanità. (it)
  • Gucumatz var en gud hos mayafolket, möjligen identisk med Quetzalcoatl och Kukulcan. Gucumatz deltog i alltings skapelse men hörde av allt att döma inte till de omnipotentas krets. Han misslyckades vid ett par tillfällen att skapa livskraftiga och dugliga varelser, varpå flera släkten gick under i översvämningar eller förvandlades till apor. Till slut skapade han och hans efterträdare Tepeu människan av majs och lyckades få till en varelse god nog att hylla gudarna och bringa dem gåvor. Härav mayafolkets inställning än i dag till majsen som en helig gröda. (sv)
