The Aztec king believed that Herman Cortes was a god. Therefore, when Cortes arrived, instead of trying to fight him and his men, they were lavished with gifts, food and allowed into the city. They realized much too late that Cortes was not a god and by the time they tried to fight him off, he already had a significant and crippling advantage.
