The Roman poet Virgil elaborated in his description of the abode of bliss and its glories, attributing to it everything that delights the soul, pleases the senses, and is desired by man, even if he were among the most lustful of people. All the indigenous inhabitants of America believe in the immortality of the soul in the abode of reward, which to them is like the abode of reward for the Greeks and Romans, blessed with amusements and delights, where spring is eternal, the groves are full of prey, the rivers are full of fish, blessings are abundant, and people know neither hunger nor fatigue. The inhabitants of Scandinavia believed in the existence of two abodes of reward: the first for those who die in battle, and the second for the righteous, which is roofed with gold, where they reside forever enjoying eternal joy. According to them, the souls of the righteous do not ascend to the upper abode immediately upon leaving the body, but rather prepare for it in the lower abode of reward. After reaching the upper abode, they sometimes return to their bodies and visit this world and the mansions of other righteous souls below them, but they cannot rise to the mansions of those who are above them; if they attempt to do so, they are consumed by the fire surrounding those mansions. Others believe that none reach the abode of eternity except those who have tattooed their bodies, while others are intercepted by great giants on their path who devour them.
