Before the arrival of the Spanish, Moctezuma II, the Aztec emperor, believed that the Spaniards might be divine beings or emissaries of the god Quetzalcoatl, who was prophesied to return. This belief was partly fueled by their advanced technology and unfamiliar appearance. Moctezuma was intrigued and cautious, as he sought to understand their intentions while also considering the implications for his empire. Ultimately, this perception contributed to his complex response when the Spanish arrived.
