Cortez
Montezuma II believed that the Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés was the reincarnated form of the god Quetzalcoatl. This belief stemmed from a prophecy among the Aztecs that Quetzalcoatl would return from the east, which aligned with the arrival of Cortés and his men in 1519. Montezuma's interpretation of this event significantly influenced his interactions with the Spanish and ultimately contributed to the fall of the Aztec Empire.

When Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortés arrived, the Aztecs believed he was Quetzalcoatl, a god who would bring peace to Mexico (some hope!). "Quetzalcoatl" meant feathered snake.
