Quetzalcoatl, usually depicted as a snake bird or plumed serpent, was the creator God of the Aztecs who set sail to the east after promising his people he would return.
Sentries were posted on the east coast to look out for his return, hence they were expecting him.
The Spaniards wearing bright breastplates and arriving from the East appeared to them to be the God returning.
