What is viking Valhalla and what was it?

Answer 1

Answer

It is the Castle, or Hall built by Odin in Norse Mythology where warriors who have fallen in battle are received. It is their paradise, or heaven. Each day would be spent fighting and each night would be spent celebrating victory (where wounds would also heal, ready for the day following and more fighting).

Answer 2

I think it is a place, like Heaven or something.

EDIT::It's a hall that Odin or something found the slained souls

A better answer:

Valhalla means Hall of the Slain, or Hall of the Chosen. Those who died in battle who prayed to Odin would cross the bridge of three fires Bifrost to enter Asgard, and be welcomed into Valhalla. It is where Odin collects his army of the dead, the Einherjer, for the final battle at Ragnarok. They fight every day, and at sundown are reborn to party all night long, only to fight again once morning arrives.

Answer 3

Valhalla is heaven, its where the souls of the men that died in battle go. They are taken there by the warrior women (valkyries) .Vanhalla has a great hall with 540 doors, The roof is made up of shields. There the souls of the soldiers can fight all day, but by night fall all of the wounds will heal ,then they have a banquet with the high God Odin.

Answer 4

Valhalla comes from the Viking word Valhöll, which means "Hall of the Slain".

In Norse and Viking Mythology, Valhalla is located in Asgard.

Asgard is one of the nine realms which are home to the Norse gods of the Æsir. The god who rules over Asgard, and therefore Valhalla, is Odin.

It was believed that some of the brave Nords and Vikings who died in combat would be led to Asgard and permitted into Valhalla by Valkyries.

Here they are now known as the Einherjar, where they wait and prepare to aid Odin in the Ragnarök.
