[Jazzy]

While exploring an ancient Catholic church in France, archaeologists discovered a trove of 230 tombs.

Further analysis revealed that the tombs were holding much more than just ancient remains: Inside, archaeologists found collections of rare jewelry and religious devotional objects, according to a March 4 news release from the Institut national de recherches archéologiques préventives (INRAP).

The church in Morlaix was a Jacobin convent, established in 1238, officials said. Its church was consecrated in 1250 and was restored and expanded after a fire in 1344. The Dominican Order — one of the four orders of the Roman Catholic Church — was known as the Jacobin Order in France.
