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

Frankincense was a fancy incense-like substance, burned for the scent. Myhrr was used in fucking EMBALMING. They were both fucking weird ass presents to give a baby, but they were also expensive and generally hard to acquire.

Myhrr was also used in incense, balms, etc. They were great gifts for anyone for the reasons you listed, especially during a time when people of that nationality had been ordered to travel possibly great distances and you believed the people you were giving the gifts to would be fugitives.
