What does bernal diaz's observations of the aztec market tell you about how spaniards first viewed the aztec civilization?

The Aztecs were not seen as primitive people by the Spanish. On contrary, after seeing with their own eyes how the Aztec society functions, their markets, their innovations, sustainability, order, the Spanish were fascinated, as their cities were much better organized than theirs. This led to admiration by the Spanish toward the Aztecs, but unfortunately also increased their greed for wealth, which they saw is in large amount, so the end result was destruction of this civilization, its culture, and achievements.

this is a good question! i'll do some research and come back when i have the answer!
