Cortes And The Conquest Of Mexico Ever since Columbus first recorded his observations of the New World, Europeans have become more interested with not only this new place but also with what the people were like and the technology they had. There were many explorers’ accounts that were published and sent abroad. The Aztecs, who were part of this New World, did the same and recorded their observations of the Europeans and anyone else that would step foot on their land. They would draw pictures or write down what they observed of these new people. The Europeans looked at this New World and discovered that the Aztecs had many different supplies and food to accommodate them. They also discovered that gold had been found in Mexico and Europe wanted a part of it. Life in the Western Hemisphere was fairly acceptable. The Indians (what the Europeans first called them) obtained food by hunting and gathering. They would kill bison, deer, elk and horses. They would pick wild fruits and pick grass for grazing. Around 5000 B.C.E., Indians started to develop a sophisticated way of gathering food. They practiced agriculture and began growing their own crops.
