Most famously, the ancient Egyptians used it as a perfuming agent during the embalming process of late Pharaohs.The Old Testament of the Bible likewise references the ingredient as anointing oil. It eventually arrived in Europe through Arab merchants, many of whom were said to tell elaborate and unfounded tales to justify its exorbitant price. One such tale dates back to the 5th century BCE. It involves large birds carrying cinnamon sticks to their nests perched on mountains - beyond anyone’s reach. For traders to obtain the spice, individuals placed ox meat on the ground to tempt the creatures.The birds would then return home with the food, the weight of which caused the nests to collapse and the spice tumbling down with them.
