Did the Aztec really find a eagle with a snake on its beak?
Legend has it that the Aztecs were to find a place for their new city and build it where they saw an eagle with a snake in its beak perched on a cactus plant. That story is probably anecdotal. To build a city in such a poor location needs some justification. This is in reference to the establishment of what is now known as Mexico City. The story was either true or created later to justify the fact that the city was built on an island in a swamp. The image of the eagle with snake in beak, perched on a cactus is on the Mexican flag.
The original town, Tenochtitlan was built in 1325 by the Aztecs and was later rebuilt and named Mexico by the Spaniards in the mid 1500's after it was conquered by Cortés in 1521.
How many gods did the Incas worship?
It is unclear that there is a single answer to this question, because the Incas were a wide-ranging group of tribes. For about 100 years before the Spanish conquest, there was a united Inca kingdom with a seat at Macchu Picchu. The design of the temple there indicates the Inca worshipped the mountains, rivers, sun and moon. Whether they took these sacred objects as dieties is not entirely certain.

What were the causeways of Tenochtitlan made of?
Tenochtitlan had causeways and bridges because it was built upon a lake. If it did not have causeways and bridges, the people would not be able to reach or leave the city.

Why is Montezuma an important part of Mexico?
Montezuma II was the last ruler of the Aztec Empire at the beginning of the 16th century. Then Cortés, a European conquistador, captured and defeated him, and his empire fell. The Atzecs had no immunity against certain illnesses him and his men had brought and many of them were wiped out from disease and such. Also, their weapons technology was superior so the whole ordeal wasn't exactly fair. Anyway, Cortés defeated Montezuma II. It is said that Montezuma put a curse on his gold because after the defeat of the empire, Cortez and his men got sick and died (probably more because of illnesses they themselves were not immune to rather than a curse) but now travelers to Mexico are warned about Montezuma's revenge because they often get diarrhea when they drink the water there.
