From mud flood to a museum… and still standing today! 👀
Buried beneath metres of mud and sediment, then excavated, restored and brought back to life.
500 years later, this remarkable building is still standing!
San Agustín de Acolman, Mexico 🇲🇽
Originally founded in the 1500s, this magnificent monastery survived devastating Mud Floods during the 1600s and 1700s, leaving much of its lower structure buried beneath accumulated mud and debris.
By the early 1900s, its once grand entrance was partially buried, with centuries old stonework hidden beneath the ground.
Then came the excavations!
During the 1920s, workers began digging around the monastery, removing approximately 4.15 metres of accumulated flood sediment from the front of the building, revealing its original entrance and intricate stone carvings.
Just look at the historical photographs compared with today! 😳
The columns, sculptures and enormous wooden doors are still there, but the ground level has completely changed.
And perhaps the most fascinating part?
The building survived it all.
Today, the former monastery remains standing and is open to the public as a historical museum.
Imagine how much work went into uncovering and restoring this extraordinary place!
💬 What do you make of these photographs?
And how many other historical buildings have buried beneath our feet?
I will be posting 1 mud flood confirmed founded and restored building for every country over the next few weeks.. 😉
When did we stop building skyscrapers that look like this?

P.S.
We never stopped building them, because we never started. You can prove this, because we can no longer build them today.😉
Connecticut State Capitol Building.
Who are the real conspiracy theorists?
The folks that believe this was built in 1870’s with horse and buggy?
Or…..
The folks who believe that a highly advanced civilization preceded us, disappeared, and we inherited their buildings?
"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." (Isaiah 9:6)
Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church.
Allegedly built in 1878.
200 feet tall.
Why did they need all that height?
To get closer to god?
Or to get higher voltage from the atmospheric electricity?
Old World building.
"But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." (John 1:12-13)
