After a bit of research, it seems that Texcotzingo is not actually a pyramid, but rather a pre-Hispanic archaeological site located in the valley of Mexico. While there are several pyramids located in this area, such as the Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon in Teotihuacan, these are not the oldest pyramids in the world.

The oldest known pyramid in the world is the Step Pyramid of Djoser in Egypt, which was built around 2600 BCE. However, it's worth noting that there were likely other pyramids that were built even earlier than this, but they may not have survived to the present day.

I'm not aware of any specific rain gods that are associated with the pyramids, but I can certainly try to look up some information for you. However, it's worth noting that different cultures and civilizations throughout history have had their own deities and mythologies related to rain and water, and some of these may have been associated with pyramids or other structures. Additionally, the role and significance of pyramids varied depending on the civilization and time period in which they were built, so there may not be a clear-cut answer to your question.

Sure, I did some research and found that in ancient Egyptian mythology, the god of rain was called Khnum, who was associated with the Nile River and was believed to control the annual flooding that was crucial for agriculture. However, I couldn't find any direct association between Khnum and the pyramids.

In Mesoamerican mythology, there were several gods associated with rain, such as Tlaloc in Aztec mythology and Chaac in Mayan mythology. While many pyramids were built in Mesoamerican civilizations, it's not clear whether these gods were specifically associated with the pyramids or if they were simply part of a larger pantheon of deities.

Overall, it seems that while rain and water were certainly important aspects of many ancient cultures and mythologies, there may not be a direct association between rain gods and pyramids in particular.
