Historic Mexican church rises from the water after 40 years

A 19th-century church has risen from the waters of a central Mexican lake after being submerged for decades — the result of a recent drought that is plaguing the region.
The Church of the Virgin of Dolores disappeared in 1979 when the Purisima Dam was built and buried the colonial community of El Zangarro, Mexico News Daily said.
“Oral history tells us that it was very difficult for them to leave the place, not just because of the buildings, but because of the sense of belonging to the place,” said Dulce Vazquez, director of the local municipal archives.

This has to be symbolic of the the approaching judgement day.

I take it you're not familiar with these kinds of things.
There are entire towns all over the U.S. that are now underwater because a river was dammed up.

sorry your drive-by attempt to mock Christians backfired.

I wish journalists would actually do journalism.
-Is this the first time that drought has dropped the water level that far? Or, has this church reappeared before?

It has reappeared once since they built the damn dam.

How is the bass fishing around this structure?
I'm thinking if you throw some of these Holy Rollers down towards the Pulpit you'll load up.

You'd think God would've saved them. Not so fast!

It's a shame what they did to Uncle Frank.

How were they to know in the 1800s a dam would be built in the 1970s?

Thanks global warming for returning our lost church.

Pretty cool that the building is still in tact like it is.
