Mexico drought: Historic church resurfaces as drought dries up Mexico’s rivers

Relatives of the former residents say the church was known as the Iglesia de Santiago.
Some of them say an earthquake destroyed one of the 10-foot walls in the 1940s.
The last time the church emerged was in 2002 when several worshipers walked to the building to celebrate a Mass.
Before the completion of the dam in 1966, there was a small village near the church, a community of four neighborhoods, each one named after a saint.
The Quechula Church is 61 meters long and has been under water since 1966 when the Malpaso Dam was completed on the Grijalva River.
