The Babylonians, Assyrians and Egyptians burned frankincense in their temples as an offering to the gods during religious rites. The ancient Egyptians also ground the remains of burned frankincense to create kohl, the black substance they used for eyeliner. The Greeks and Romans used the aromatic resin as incense, whereas the Chinese valued frankincense for its medicinal properties.
