Read ‘The Conquest of New Spain’ by Bernal Diaz. He was there for the conquest and wrote about it in his retirement.

The Spanish may have been the only ones
from that era who could have done that.
May be they were enraged enough to do
something other than be served for dinner.

It is my understanding that Cortez was so horrified by what he found in the Aztec temples that he deliberately tried to wipe out every trace of that culture that he could find. Additionally, he didn't conquer the Aztecs alone - he had the help of a lot of the indian tribes from around the area because they HATED the Aztecs. They were virtual slaves of the Aztecs, and had to provide many of the human sacrifices.
