Cinnamon has an incredibly lengthy history, with its earliest documented use occurring in ancient Egypt which could have been as early as 2000 BC. It was mentioned multiple times in the Hebrew Bible and Old Testament, where Moses used it as an anointing oil. It was highly valued by ancient Romans along with other ancient civilizations. Pliny the Elder, an ancient Roman scholar and herbalist, even wrote that cinnamon was worth more than 15 times the value of silver by weight at one point. Throughout the Middle Ages, Western civilizations set out numerous explorations in search of where cinnamon originated, until the early 1500's when Portuguese explorers stumbled upon Sri Lanka and discovered the source of True Cinnamon.
