Believing he was Quetzalqoatl (possible missspell), their white, feathered-serpent god, they bestowed upon him gifts, but he wanted more.

How many days are in an Aztec week?
The Aztec have 13 days in their week, just like the Maya. They are numbers from 1 thru 13. The Spanish called it a Trecena (means 13). It is not called a week because a week means 7, just like 10 days is a decade. The Aztecs also have 20 day names which always match a cycle in the 360-day Mayan Long Count, like 18 months that each contain 20 days and so are always the same day names (because the 5 days are not added to make 365 days). The 18 cycles of these 20 day names will always fall on the same month and day in this 360-day cycle.
the Aztec calendar can be found anywhere, but it originated in Central Mexico where the Aztecs settled.

What was the Aztec way of life?
We know something about how Aztecs lived from ruins of buildings, and remains of pottery, jewelery, and other artifacts which have been found. Archaeologists are people who piece together history from this sort of evidence. Often evidence is buried deep under the ground.
Most Aztecs were farmers. They lived in mud-brick houses near the Chinampas- strips of land they had reclaimed from the swamps. This was done by building up layers of mud and water plants, to keep out the water. They also hunted and fished for food.
They wove rafts out of branches, piled reeds on top of these and covered them with mud from the bottom of the lake. This made up their farm land.Aztec farmers grew all sorts of vegetables and fruit on their swampy land. They also hunted waterfowl and fished.
Ordinary people had very little. Farmers used wooden sticks for gardening and knives for hunting and harvesting. People made their own clothes. They dyed cloth to make the clothes, or sell at the local market. they slept on rush mats and cooked on a clay disc on three stones over a fire and stored food in clay pots.
The Aztec people/tribe were certain ethnic groups of central Mexico, particularly those groups who spoke the Nahuatl language and who dominated large parts of Mesoamerica in the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries, a period referred to as the Late post-Classic period in Mesoamerican chronolgy. They travelled all over before they saw the symbol of an egale perched on a nobel cactus holding a rattle snake which they thought was a sign from there god which meant to stay. This place that the stayed in is now known as Mexico city.
In 1525, Cortés took Cuauhtémoc and several other indigenous nobles on his expedition to Honduras, fearing that Cuauhtémoc could have led an insurrection in his absence. While the expedition was stopped in the Chontal Maya capital of Itzamkanac, known as Acalan in Nahuatl, Cortés had Cuauhtémoc executed for allegedly conspiring to kill him and the other Spaniards.
