The ziggurat is a pyramidal tower that is characteristic of the cultures of Mesopotamia, particularly those located in Iraq. These structures were built from approximately 2200 until 500 BCE. The ziggurat was a focal point in the city, and it is believed that it was considered a symbol of theocracy and the political power of gods.

In short: the Spanish were not interested in Mexico but in what the ships could bring from Mexico (again, mostly gold).
Some, very few Spaniards, who settled in the New World were too unhappy in Europe and hoped for a better life.
