The myth describes a plumed/feathered god. Either it was just a myth, or reptiles DID indeed have feathers. (Which incidentally supports the view that dinosaurs could have evolved into birds)
What does the rest of the forum think? Where the dragons from mythology the dinosaurs that must have lived before Noah? (And why do you think that?)
How would the Aztec's have known their were "feathered snakes" if they had not seen one, which would actually disprove evolutionary thought that humans and prehistoric animals did not live at the same time.
