When the Aztecs asked their gods for a sign, they believed they received a response through various omens and phenomena in nature. One significant event occurred in 1519, when an Aztec priest interpreted a series of unusual occurrences, such as the sighting of a comet and the appearance of a woman weeping for her children, as divine signals. These signs were perceived as foretelling the arrival of Hernán Cortés and the eventual Spanish conquest. The Aztecs often interpreted such omens as messages from the gods that could indicate favor or impending disaster.
