Solution

The two points of evidence supporting the theory that Teotihuacan was dominated by a warrior cult dedicated to the Feathered Serpent and/or the Rain God are:

  1. The unprecedented mass burial of sacrificed warriors and captives under the pyramid of the Feathered Serpent: This discovery suggests that there was a significant amount of ritualistic sacrifice associated with the Feathered Serpent, which is indicative of a warrior cult. The mass burial of warriors and captives could be seen as an offering or tribute to this deity.

  2. Abundance of images of these gods in connection with images of warfare and warriors: The prevalence of these images suggests that the gods were closely associated with warfare and warriors. This could indicate that the society was dominated by a warrior cult dedicated to these gods. The images serve as a form of visual evidence supporting this theory.
