Valhalla - The Norse Afterlife For Fallen Heroes (The Hall Of The Slain) | Norse Mythology Explained

Valhalla, also known as the hall of the slain is believed to be the Norse afterlife for fallen heroes in Scandinavian Mythology. In Norse mythology, it is said that warriors who lost their lives defending a cause would go to Valhalla, where they will feast with other heroes and Odin himself until Ragnarok comes.
Valhalla was believed to be located in the grove of Glasir in Asgard, the real of the Aesir gods. The Einherjar was the name given to these brave warriors who went to Valhalla. According to Norse mythology, it's believed that upon their death, the ancient Vikings were chosen by Odin's Valkyries to become an army that will combat the forces of chaos at Ragnarok. Each day, the warriors would practice the art of Combat, slaying and being slain, only to recover by the evening after which they could feast altogether in the hall, with meat and wine of honey which never ran out. Although being often considered as the main afterlife for the Vikings, Valhalla was one out of the five realms dedicated for the souls. Another realm for the souls of fallen heroes would wait was Folkvangr, a realm governed by the Vanir goddess Freya (Freyja). The warriors who were to Valhalla ere purposely chosen to fight at the end of time alongside with the gods.
Valhalla once bore the name Valholl, even though it's unclear how Valholl changed into the popular Valhalla, but the image of hall of heroes and king being served by Valkyries is among the best known in Norse mythology, and this idea of Valhalla frequently appears nowadays in art, movies, music and even video games, just like Assassin creed's Valhalla.
No matter what Valhalla looked like, the vision of an afterlife filled with beautiful maidens, endless food and drink, days of military games gave hope of a happy afterlife to warriors left behind who took part to battles and wars of all kind.

I like your content but Please why the robotic voice? It's awful and takes away from the obviously hard work you put into your videos.

[@jaradonwigington1936]

Its in the 2nd heaven
My Father Jehovah jirah owns that and resides in the 3rd heaven. All Glory Jehova Rophe!!! But exodus 22:28 says thou shall not revile the Gods or curse the ruler of thy people. I don't want to show disrespect its just have a testimony and My life has been on the line and my God has never failed me. Shalom.
