Hernán Cortés, the famous Spanish conquistador, arrived in the rich capital of the Aztec Empire, Tenochtitlan, in 1519. The Aztec ruler Montezuma II greeted the ‘white-skinned gods’ with a spectacular ceremony, who were also lavishly gifted with gold and silver in the hope that they would spare the city. However, the greedy Spaniards captured Montezuma and, with the help of local allies, raided Tenochtitlan and massacred most of its inhabitants. In response, the Aztecs revolted against the conquerors and in the confusion Montezuma was killed. The Spaniards were forced to make a hasty retreat from the Aztec capital, and even had to leave behind their plundered treasures to save their lives. The conquistadors, fleeing, sank Montezuma’s legendary treasure to the bottom of Lake Texcoco. Cortés returned the following year, but despite his conquest of the entire Aztec Empire, he never recovered the treasure. Some believe that the stolen treasure still lies at the bottom of the lake, although many have searched in vain. However, according to one legend, after Montezuma’s death, two thousand Aztec men brought the treasure up from the bottom of the lake and marched north with the body of their dead king…
