From Quiz World Religion Origin Sites

Answer: Aztecs of Mexico

The Aztecs believed that the gods needed constant supplies of fresh blood, which would explain why Itzli might be an important deity. Creation, the sun, and the rain include gods within probably any people's pantheon. It is said that Montezuma II believed the Spanish invader Cortes might be the returning Quetzalcoatl, who had left for parts unknown, but vowing to return, and no doubt contributed to the Aztecs' downfall.
