Yep, that was the Aztecs.
Thanks.
If memory serves me, it was Hernando Cortez who conquered them. They believed him to be Quetzalcoatl. (I had to Google the spelling of that one!!) Montezuma believed it was Quetzalcoatl returning to reclaim his throne as the Aztec stories and legends had always predicted he would do. That's why they had been so easily duped.
