      it doesn't have a residue of frankincense, but there are some burn marks on the little silver container. i hadn't thought of that, but it makes sense. hmmm....

      I wonder if it could be a mountain climbers kit, just a guess Mt, McKinley is close by & lots of other mountains.

      going thru old posts of mine. thanks walksoftly. i'm pretty sure that these are relics that were found after the mission had been abandoned. somebody went back and collected these artifacts and mounted them in this box as sacred artifacts - even though they aren't that old.
