Best Answer

Moctezuma paid great reverence to Cortes because he initially believed Cortes might be a god or harbinger of the god Quetzalcoatl, as was prophesied. Moctezuma also sought to avoid conflict and maintain peace by showing respect to Cortes and his men, hoping to appease them and avoid confrontation.

Does the sentence 'I pay reverence towards him' make sense?

It is understandable - so in that sense it "makes sense" - but what it appears to be saying would be easier stated as "I revere him'. One doesn't generally "pay" reverence, nor is there a "towards" involved. One might "pay homage to", but that's slightly different in meaning.

How did Hernando cortez help bring an end to the Aztec civilization?

In July 1519, Cortes deliberately burned and sank, or scuttled, his ten ships. Cortes knew that the impending campaign would be difficult, and he didn't want any of his men to mutiny and try to flee on their own. His message sent Cortes led an army of 1,000 Spanish and Indian allies into the mountains and jungles.As Cortes's army defeated Indian warriors and sacked several towns, Montezuma sent gifts, promising to pay tribute if the Spanish left the Aztec Empire. Cortes defied the emperor and by November, Cortes and his ragged army stood before the gates of Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital and home to more than 60,000 people, a population larger than that in any Spanish city at the time.At first, Montezuma and Cortes exchanged cordial greetings. Cortes and his men were stunned by the magnificence of the city, but they were also horrified by the Aztec religion, which sacrificed humans in rituals. When one ofMontezuma's chiefs attacked a Spanish garrison, Cortes took Montezuma prisoner and forced him to acknowledge the Spanish king as his lord. When Cortes tried to change the Aztec temples into Christian churches, warfare broke out. Montezuma was killed, and Cortes and his men were forced to flee Tenochtitlan. Cortes raised an army and returned to lay siege to the great city.On August 13, 1521, the Aztecs, starving and weakened by disease introduced by the Europeans, surrendered. Cortes was made governor and captain general of Nuevo Espana (New Spain), and established Mexico City on the ruins of Tenochtitlan.


What biblical verses address reverence?

ANSWER #1 The ten commandments address reverence to God, to parents, to family, to neighbors... ANSWER #2 The entire Bible stresses reverence to God. In the Old Testament, God gave the Ten Commandment to Moses as mentioned in Answer 1. In the New Testament this reverence was again stressed by Jesus. The Pharisees asked Him what was the greatest of all the Commandments. He replied "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with your whole soul, heart and mind and thy neighbour as thyself". (Matthew 22:37). This can be verified by a reading of Mark 12:28-31. We can also pay reverence to God by self respect and love of each other because this is the way the world will know that we are discilpes of Jesus (See John 13:35). As Christians, absolute devotion and reverence of God is necessary and our reward for that will be the gifts of the Holy Spirit. (refer Corinthians I 12 8:13)
