A College student and team of explorers journey back in time to locate a Maya god. A mysterious cult is rapidly declining in Chichen-Itza. Mayas worship the god Kukulcan who is said to be a living human portrayed in stone carvings as a winged rattlesnake. Modern day scientists travel into the past to prove or dispel myths surrounding this deity. Explorers ride aboard a wondrous time machine to discover the truth. This perilous journey to trace Kukulcan, the Mayas 'Feathered Serpent' god, could mean certain death for the adventurers who crash land near Yucatan in the year 980 A.D. The explorers create history and become part of a legend as they join ERIK THE RED in battling murderous savages bent on destroying the Maya civilization. The heroes must fight barbarians and survive while repairing their damaged time machine to return home safely.
