...Chichen Itza, in southeastern Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, where (according to both Central Mexican and Maya annals) he becomes known as Kukulcan, a Maya translation of his name.
From the time of Quetzalcoatl’s emigration from Tula to Yucatan (and perhaps several generations before) similar art and architecture appear at both Tula and Chichen Itza.
The presence of stylistic traits associated with Tula in Chichén Itzá is also taken as evidence for a Toltec horizon.
Especially the nature of interaction between Tula and Chichén Itzá has been controversial with scholars arguing for either military conquest of Chichén Itzá by Toltecs, Chichén Itzá establishing Tula as a colony or only loose connections between the two.
