Why did the spanish think they must be dreaming when they saw tenochtitlán?

When the Spanish first saw the city, they thought they must be dreaming because it was larger and more impressive than any Spanish city of the time. Vastly outnumbered, the Spanish conquistador took Aztec emperor Montezuma II hostage and began a siege in Tenochtitlán that the Aztec could not withstand.

    prior to dee leaving home, the everyday objects in her household were just that- everyday objects. she took no special notice of any of them. however, once she returns home, all of these objects represent great culture significance to her. she is incredibly enthused about how great the wooden benches and old quilts are because she thinks it is in-style to be in touch with her own culture.

hope this : )
