WHO was Jesus?

According to LDS Facts via Twitter:

Many people believe the person in Indian history called Quetzalcoatl, Hyustus, Kukulcan, Gucumatz, Con-Tici, etc was actually Jesus Christ

Who believes that?  Do you know of anyone who believes that?  I have never even heard that... and I've heard a lot of nutty things.  IMHO, just another attempt by the LDS Church to make the Book of Mormon credible.  Jesus was not in the Americas... 

Quetzalcoatl was the "feathered Serpent" or "Precious Twin".  He is the god intelligence and self-reflection, a patron of priests.  Quetzalcoatl is a primordial god of creation, a giver of life. With his opposite Tezcatlipoca he created the world. Quetzalcoatl is also called White Tezcatlipoca, to contrast him to the black Tezcatlipoca.

Kukulcan - The Maya supreme god, to whom the Maya attributed many functions. Not only was he a god of the four elements, he was also a creator god and the god of resurrection and reincarnation. He originated from Toltec myth, where he was a divine hero who taught the Toltecs laws, fishing, healing, the calendar, and agriculture. He emerged from the ocean, and disappeared in it afterwards.
His name means "the feathered serpent", and the Aztec merged him with their Quetzalcoatl. His attributes, each representing one element, are a maize-ear (earth), a fish (water), lizard (fire), and vulture (air). He is the so-called 'God B'.

REINCARNATION people...  NOT Jesus.

Gucumatz - Is a bed and breakfast in San Jose... Really...  But seriously... Yet another name for the "Feathered Serpant"

Con-Tici is also known as Viracocha is the great creator god in the pre-Inca and Inca mythology in the Andes region of South America.  Viracocha was one of the most important deities in the Inca pantheon and seen as the creator of all things, or the substance from which all things are created, and intimately associated with the sea.[1] Viracocha created the universe, sun, moon and stars, time (by commanding the sun to move over the sky)[2] and civilization itself. Viracocha was worshipped as god of the sun and of storms. He was represented as wearing the sun for a crown, with thunderbolts in his hands, and tears descending from his eyes as rain.
