Mexico: 16th century church emerges after water levels at reservoir drop

Due to drought, the ruins of a 16th century church believed to have been built by Spanish colonists recently surfaced from the receding reservoir waters in Mexicos southern state of Chiapas. The temple, located in the Grijalva River area, appeared once in 2002, also due to low water levels brought on by drought. This year, the water dropped to about 24 metres, revealing the 400-year-old roofless church. Oct 20, 2015
