History Thru The Lens

Welcome to my blog site!

My interests in history and photography come together in this photoblog. Featured in this blog are historical pictures such as the above photo of the RMS Olympic and her sister ship the RMS Titanic, which would prove to be the last one of them together side by side. Hopefully all who visit will enjoy it and recommend the site to their friends.

Temple of Santiago



A recent drought in Mexico lowered the Nezahualcoyotl Reservoir's depth by 82 feet, revealing the remains of a 400 year old church. The Temple of Santiago, built by monks in the mid 16th century, was eventually abandoned due to the plagues of 1773-1776. The historic structure was flooded as a result of a dam constructed in 1966.
