" See, three days out on the venture, the first mate comes to him and says everything's an equal share. First voyage to the Treasure Mutiny on the Black Pearl There the treasure remained, and became one of many legends in the Caribbean, some of which would be a matter of discussion several times in Jack Sparrow's life. Ultimately, the treasure of Cortés would end up in the caves of the dreaded Isla de Muerta, a mysterious island of the dead that could only be found by those who knew where it was. In response, the heathen gods placed a curse upon the gold: any mortal who removed a piece of the gold from the chest would be punished for eternity. In the early 16th century, during the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire in Mexico, the Aztecs placed 882 identical pieces of Aztec gold in a stone chest which they gave to the conquistador Hernán Cortés as " blood money paid to stem the slaughter he wreaked upon them with his armies."

The curse they carry could be lifted only if all of the plundered pieces of Aztec Gold was returned and the blood debt repaid.įor the next ten years, stories of the Black Pearl haunted the Seven Seas. After finding the Treasure of Cortés on the mysterious Isla de Muerta, Captain Hector Barbossa and the crew of the Black Pearl fell under the curse, doomed to live forever as undead skeletons.
