I sometimes confuse easily. Can you tell me what you mean by Motecuzhoma's country?
This is confusing to me. I live about 100 yards, more or less, from where I believe the treasure is buried. This land, including my own land here, was the property of Moctezuma II when he was alive. Motecuzhoma was one of several spellings now obsolete for II. There were others.
An expedition may well involve my daily trip with cups of yogurt for the old uncles when my wife is gone. Seriously. She thinks yogurt is good for the old men. And I walk by about twenty feet from the probable burial site which is usually shut and locked. I am usually looking out very carefully for the meanest old goose I have ever known. If that goose is present and in a foul mood, I scurry past that location as fast as possible.
The dogs are the next obstacle. There are many of them. They are used to me, because they have all known me from a very young age. But, one of the toughest men I know quakes with fear at the thought of going where those dogs are, and asks me to run errands there for him.
And one of those dogs is probably insane. He even scares me. Very aggressive if I have not been there in a few days. Not just barking like the others, but very aggressively snapping and lunging. My BIL once visited us, and got a hole bit in his jeans, and that wasn't the dangerous dog.
Those dogs are rather well known. I sometimes see men, grown men, standing up by my private road, shouting, "Buenos Dias!" Hoping someone hears them and comes out to talk to them. They have no desire to walk on the property.
The last obstacle is the owners. Rumors that Mexicans cannot own firearms are incorrect. They can own small pistols and I think rifles up to .32, but not military grade. Also, they can legally own 12 gauge shotguns. No more comment needed.
The oldest uncle in his younger years had an i.d. as LEO. In the USA, when they want to make a dangerous arrest, they send the SWAT team. In his younger years, when they had to make a dangerous arrest, they asked him to go along so signed him up as LEO to make it legal.
As Emperor, it is probable that II owned land similar to this in various places around Mexico.
It was not the property of I, or any of the earlier Tenocha's, because this region was not conquered by the Aztecs until around 1503, shortly after II became Emperor according to UNAM.
Though there are gaps in the geneaology of the Moctezuma's after Cortes, until the 1700's or so, then after that again until the late 1800's, the evidence shows the land originally owned by II passed on to his heirs or descendants. Current owners are still descendants of the Moctezuma's. Due to a shortage of male heirs, the surname of the owners has changed. Since the insurrectionists in 1918 burned the land records, we will never know exactly who they were.
Let me add that I do think all records are in off-limits library in our state capitol. Only academic researchers can access them.
