In a recent drought on October 20, the waters of southern Mexico in the city of Tecpatán have dropped so low, low enough for a 16th century built church to be seen above the waterline.

The church, The Temple of Santiago, has been resting under 100 feet of water since 1966, but the water levels dropped 80 feet during the drought.

According to architect Carlos Navarrates, "It was a church built thinking that this could be a great population center, but it never achieved that."
