According to Viking mythology, Valhalla was a great hall in the grandest palace of Odin,
king of the gods. The walls of Valhalla were gold, and its roof was made of battle shields.
Vikings believed that if they died heroically in battle, they would spend eternity fighting
and then feasting in Valhalla with Odin.
To make the voyage to Valhalla, a Viking hero needed a proper funeral. This included
being buried with his weapons, his clothing, and a ship. The servants of Viking warriors
were buried with them to serve their masters on the journey and beyond. Sometimes,
instead of being buried, the fully stocked ship was cast adrift and burned.
