What was Hernan Cortez looking for?

Hernan Cortez was intruding the Aztec empire, loyal to King Montezuma III, in order to bring gold back to Spain and become very rich. When Montezuma met him, he mistook him for their white-skinned, feathered-serpent god, Quetzalcoatl (ket-sal-ko-tull). Believing that was his identity, he offered as much gold as Cortez pleased.
