17:23 Cortes had help from more than few dogs, when he landed on the Yucatan, the local people who were descended from the Mayan hated the Aztecs and helped Cortes, even freeing a Franciscan Friar who spoke the local language so acted as interpreter. The Aztec's were not "weak", but very young, the alliances which ruled were perhaps a century old. Dr. Taylor gives the tale short, and an inaccurate tell.
I'd add that many surnames that ended in "S" or "Z" may have been descended from Jewish Conversos, and while it was against Spanish Law from conversos to travel to the new world, we know of course they did. Ironically, horse husbandry came to the new world with Jews and led to the cowboys north and south, and the culture of the plains Indians.
