An Ancient Burial

The Vikings were guided by the belief that the lifeless body of a warrior is transported to Valhalla through the boat. According to them, Valhalla was a divine place where gods lived and where the deads came to rest. In a simpler way, it was heaven where all the people would reunite after death. By now, it is quite clear that the Vikings were very spiritual and so they used to take this burial ceremony very seriously. The other rituals included the sacrifice of servants whenever their king or nobleman used to die. These prominent figures were buried with their riches as well.
