Low water levels reveal submerged 16th-century temple in Mexico

14/03/2016 · Agencia Informativa Conacyt

In October, another 16th-century Dominican temple surfaced in the Malpaso Dam in Quechula, Chiapas.
The dam is 40% full and the 247 communities in the Tehuantepec Isthmus have become concerned about possible water shortages.
The 16th-century Dominican structure only surfaces during drought years, which means less fishing and smaller harvests for this small Oaxaca town, located deep in the south of the country.
The temple, a beautiful compound that includes a church, a convent and a bell tower, has emerged as water levels drop in the Benito Juárez Dam at the confluence of the Tehuantepec and Tequisistlán rivers.
Although the waters have damaged its domes, cross and bell tower, the elegance of its structures is still astounding.
