The conquerors burned Aztec books and Inca records known as "codices." These codices contained important historical, religious, and cultural information, and their destruction significantly impacted the preservation of Indigenous knowledge. The loss of these texts contributed to the erasure of many aspects of pre-Columbian history and culture.

Did the Christian conquerors of Mexico like the Aztec religion?

Not at all. They destroyed all temples and idols and slaughtered all priests related to such religion. Then, to prevent a revolt, they mixed the Christian saints with the former idols in such a way to "soften" the adjustment to Christianity. This is called "religious syncretism".
