Moctezuma's treasures
Moctezuma II was an AZtec emperor who ruled from 1502 to 1520.This was a time when the Aztecs controlled most of what is now Mexico and Central America.In 1520,the spanish invader Hernan cortes kidnapped and killed Mocteztuma.Cortes and his man then collected all of Moctezuma's dazzling treasures and tried to escape whit them.But the Aztecs caught up with the spanish and fought them.Cortes and a few of his men escaped empty-handed,but eventually returned to take revenge and to attempt to steal the treasure again.However,the Aztecs hid the treasure somewhere around Lake Texcoco,and Cotes never found it.
one of Mexico's former presidents actually drained Lake Texcoco in an attempt to find the treasure,but he failed to find any trace of it.Today it is believed that Moctezuma's treasure is hidden somewhere near Mexico City,but no one knows exactly where.
