Comment on Which of frankincense and myhrr is more pricey? What even are they, respectively?

  I only answered your question about what they are. I have no idea how much they’re worth. Probably too much if you don’t live in the middle-east, as you’d have to import that stuff I guess.

    For the record, you can get myrrh resin for like 20-30 bucks a 4oz sack on Amazon.

    A one pound sack of frankincense goes for about 20.

    What was more valuable in the first century is anyone’s guess.
