world. People would bury anything of value to
them, to stop the Vikings from stealing their belongings.
Viking Religions
When Vikings died in battle they went to a place called Valhalla, and Odin's daughters called the Valkeries would bring the dead warriors up to Valhalla.
In the Viking world, when a Viking died in battle they would be guided Odin’s daughters, the Valkeries.
Odin is the high god for the Vikings.
Viking Money In the Viking times, all
of their money was the same value, so the only way to get a
different value was to get something sharp and cut the coin in
two.
