So, you could argue that the lake was always here, only lower, but that in recent history something happened to make the lake deeper and submerge the temple. Some feel that the lake was made deeper artificially.

Perhaps similar to the Dead Sea, because Lake Titicaca is a closed lake, the water level has had dramatic fluctuations over the centuries.
