No. There is a common misconception stating that Aztecs mistook the Spaniards for gods; in fact the Aztecs knew they were men, but were curious to find out what were their motives. Unfortunately, Cortes and his conquistadors were greedy conquerors in search for gold and ultimately destroyed the Aztec empire with the help of smaller tribes who were bitter enemies of the Aztecs. The most important among them were the Talxcalans, who allied with the Spanish and provided more than 100,000 warriors to destroy the Aztecs.
