Many societies around the world revered them as symbols of creation, health, and vitality. In most religions, minor or secondary gods had serpentine features, but the Aztecs took it to the next level by worshiping snake hybrids as their primary deities. Quetzalcoatl, The Feathered Serpent, Xiuhcoatl, The Fire Serpent, Mixcoatl The Cloud Serpent, and Coatlicue "She of the Serpent Skirt" were all revered gods in Aztec mythology. In Nahuatl, the language spoken by the Aztecs, the word for serpent is coatl, which is found in many compound words. The architecture of Aztec buildings often featured snakes prominently. The Coatepec, or "hill of the serpents," was considered sacred because it was the birthplace of Huitzilopochtli, the principle Aztec god. In ceremonial areas, a coatepantli, or "wall of serpents," was used to identify and close off a sacred space. One such wall surrounds part of the Great Temple in Tenochtitlan.
