One of Cortes 's soldiers , Bernal Diaz del Castillo , recorded his impressions upon first seeing it : `` When we saw so many cities and villages built in the water and other great towns on dry land we were amazed and said it was like the enchantments ... on account of the great towers and cues and buildings rising from the water , and all built of masonry . And some of our soldiers even asked whether the things that we saw were not a dream ?
