What’s the backstory on this?
Independence Day, the movie:
"ID4"
Easy enough to research along with Rachel NV, which BTW is the location of the "pillar" of Rachel's grave to this day.
This particular backstory is less apparent:
Not that she was buried there, but Rachel was the baby born in the tiny town, so they named the place after her.
But later the family moved to Moses Lake, WA, which is only a little way from Ephrata. 2 year old Rachel died shortly after the eruption of Mt. Saint Helens, of respiratory distress, laborious breathing as it were.
Two years old. She was buried in ID, but there's a pillar/momument/memorial to her in Rachel, NV.

There's a "time capsule" and backstory in there all right, which is not of this world.
*ANN-niss, like the American English pronunciation of the star that is called anise.
(Just thought I'd throw that detail in for ya, Daf.)
