Spanish explorers were often mistaken for gods by tribes they encountered due to their advanced technology, weapons, and armor, which seemed otherworldly to the indigenous people. Additionally, the explorers often arrived during times of prophecy or legend, reinforcing the idea that they were supernatural beings.
