Oh and by the way Davy he was also part bird in their stories.
Yes Quetzalcoatl was the Aztec god. But I believe that the capital's name was Taxilla, from my Age of Empires II memory. And Hernando Cortez was the one they thought was Quetz. Pirates of the Caribbean expands into these myths, especially in the prequels as I said before. Hernan's ghost comes as Jack searches for the Sword of Cortez, the one which made the Aztecs think that he was a god (because it "could make kingdoms fall"). But ultimately Jack summons Monchtezuma to defeat Cortez. Quetz is also mentioned many times, even in the 1st movie (or at least Aztec gods were mentioned there).
