Archaeologists at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, which caught fire nearly three years ago, have discovered a previously unknown 14th-century leaden sarcophagus along with other burials, according to France's culture ministry.
It's not clear who was buried in the sarcophagus, but it was likely someone important.
The characteristics and location of the sarcophagus suggest that it holds the remains of "a high dignitary," according to a translated statement from the culture ministry released Monday (March 14).
