Maybe the snake deity known as Quetzalcoatl among the Aztecs, closely related to
the god Q'uq'umatz among the K'iche' Maya, and to the god "Kukulkan" of the Mayans.

How did herrman Cortes conquer the Aztec?
It all started off with the Aztecs beliveing in this "god" called the bird god and when Cortez came all the Aztecs thought that Cortez was the bird god because of the big sails on his ship and his armor and all the amazing things that the Aztecs did not have. when Cortez landed, the Aztecs invited Cortez in because they thought that he was the bird god. when Cortez saw how nicely the Aztecs were treating Cortez he pretended that he actually was the bird god. Shprtly after that Cortez and his crew took the emporer or king and took him and Cortez said if you didnt fill this small, empty room form floor to celing with gold then he would kill the king/emporor and the Aztecs did. They filled it up and after that Cortez and his crew all had guns of course because they were from Europe and the scared the Aztecs and sothen they pretty much killed all the Aztecs and that's how they pretty much all got wiped out. In the end Cortez and his crew god all the money and the Aztecs got killed.
