Aren’t there some striking parallels between the Jesus and Bacab stories?
First of all, there is no single deity known as 'Bacab'.  Bacabs are a type of Mayan deity, of which there are four.  They represent the four points of the compass and four colors ('Cauac' being south and red, 'Ix' being west and black, 'Kan' being east and yellow, 'Mulac' being north and white).  There are no strong parallels between these four deities and Jesus.
