Burial mounds at Gamla Uppsala, Sweden. Legend has it that three Norse gods - Odin, Thor, and Freyr - were buried under each and the site where the Temple of Uppsala once stood was sacred to them. Excavations of the mounds and site in the 19th century proved them to be burial mounds for royalty, but the remains, some cremated, could not be identified.
