Drought in Mexico reveals 400-year-old church

A church that has been covered by water for years has been exposed as southern Mexico experiences drought conditions. The Nezahualcoyotl reservoir has dropped by 25 metres, The Associated Press reports, exposing the centuries-old Temple of Santiago (also known as Temple of Quechula). In 2002, the water levels were low enough in the reservoir that people could walk inside the structure. Now, since the church is exposed once again, curious visitors are coming to investigate the site.
