Ancient [[Scandinavia]]ns believed that [[ship]]s straddled two different worlds, for they were built on land but lived at sea. Symbolically, to sail was to have a foot in two worlds; not just land and sea, but also life and death. To be on a ship was made to be in a liminal, in-between space between life and afterlife. Ships, whether wooden or stone, symbolized transition; this is likely why they had figured heavily in Scandinavian burial rituals since the {{Wiki|Bronze Age}}. | |||

Ancient Scandinavians believed that ships straddled two different worlds, for they were built on land but lived at sea. Symbolically, to sail was to have a foot in two worlds; not just land and sea, but also life and death. To be on a ship was made to be in a liminal, in-between space between life and afterlife. Ships, whether wooden or stone, symbolized transition; this is likely why they had figured heavily in Scandinavian burial rituals since the Bronze Age.
