Does Montezuma's Treasure Really Exist?

Montezuma's treasure has been on people's minds for ages. The question is, does it really exist? When Cortez arrived in Mesoamerica in the early 1500s, Montezuma thought the Great White God Quetzalcoatl, who had promised to return one day. The Montezuma did not take long to realize that he had made a mistake. Cortez was a cruel man and began Aztecs abominably treated. King, for their own reasons, Cortez refused to fight, but people have had enough and decided to rebel.

A great and terrible war, the Spanish conquistadors were driven back, Tenochtitlan, from Mexico. During the uprising, Montezuma was killed by the Spaniards or their own people. No one knows for sure. While the Spaniards were taking care of their wounded, Aztecs, and it took off quickly bundled her treasures. They have to guard it with your life because it was sacred. For years, they have treasure in honor of their god when he returns. It was a gift to Quetzalcoatl and the gold and jewels worth is estimated at around Rs.

This is just a myth? A legend? Cortez really know about the Aztec gold left record. In 1519, his chronicler, Bernal Diaz, has recorded what he saw in the village: "All the wealth of the world were in that room."There is a silver one, the moon was a fake and the Jaguar was the size of the golden statuettes. When Cortez finally won the battle and entered the room where the treasure was kept, he found nothing. After searching the village, a few statues, which were found dumped in the lake. Aztecs to hide what they tried did not take with them. He had not thought she would see in a lake. archeologists found the treasure will never find a distant land where Cortez was transported to.

Montezuma's treasure hunt has intrigued many people. In 1914, an old prospector by the name of Freddie Crystal Anasazi art was a newspaper clipping. This is a Kanab, Utah, not far from the Johnson Valley-based rock petroglyph engraved on the side was a picture of. petroglyph etchings on a treasure map was similar to that found years ago. After searching the valley for two years, he left and was received with a map and in 1920 he returned to Mexico. It's a four hundred year old map maguey he found a copy of a Mexican monastery was in a depository.

Maguey is a fibrous plant that is cultivated in Mexico. Years ago they used like paper and it lasted for centuries. Freddie is a descendant of Montezuma, who said he had met his interpretation of the map. In the north, the east, the west and south to the other four mountains: the seven showed a valley with mountains. It described the topography of Kanab to a tee. petroglyphs match your first map, but the topography did not match his second map. The second was a more details. It steps down a hill and moorland revealed. White Mountain just more than one hundred feet of sandstone carved up the steps. The only exception marshland, which did not exist. According to Freddie, marshlands dried it did not worry about it.

Freddie crystal Kanab share the jackpot with all the townsfolk dig and search for it if they promised to help him. For the next two years, the White Mountains at the bottom, a large tent city was built and went to sleep everyday townsfolk search help Freddy. All shops and businesses shut down every day so they can dig. It was an exciting time for everyone.

The town of Kanab was unlike any other city in the United States. They have a mayor and a city council of all women, something unheard of in 1920 was elected. Women's rights were not recognized in the far east. It was the first petticoat government. In fact, these good women to make sure that county court be opened and closed with a prayer every time they met. Wow! A petticoat government! How awesome is that!
