Another feature of the myth is that the survivor of the flood is always called the first man and is generally pictured as white, and as coming from the east. Quetzacoatl was the god of light to the Aztecs. His emblem was the bird serpent and his rebus the cross. He was born of a virgin. The temple of Cholula was dedicated to him. He had a full flowing beard, a white complexion, and wore long white robes. Among the Muyscas the hero Bochica bore the name "the white one". The Caribs' patron Tamu w...as "the old man of the sky". He had a light complexion, came from the east, and went to the east. The Tupis of Brazil were named after the first man who survived the flood — Tupa, "guardian of the nation, " "ruler of the lightning, " whose voice is the thuader. The expectation of the coming of the white man was common. Natives of Hayti told Columbus that his arrival was predicted; Montezuma of Mexico told Cortez the same; the Inca Huascar told De Soto the same. Old writers — Gomara, CogoUudo and others — have taken pains to collect the instances of this presenti- ment among the native races.
