In 1868, a farmer happened to find out a Viking grave with precious artifact fortune buried in the grave near Viborg. It is known as the grave from Mammen. The dead buried is believed to be magnate with expensive costume, a large wax candle, and an awe-inspiring axe which we call the Mammen Axe.

Nearly everything of the Vikings related to their deeply-ingrained belief of Norse Gods. This Mammen Axe was no exception. On one surface of the Mammen axe, it presented the Yggdrasil Tree of Life which the Vikings respected. Yggdrasil Tree symbolises the eternity of life, the supreme wisdom of High Power, the justice of Norse gods, and ultimate protection against any negative force.

Other people believe that this other side of Mammen Axe presented the mythical creature Pheonix that was a symbol of rebirth from flame and ashes.
