There was a bit of the Gnostic scripture that had me wondering for a while. Supposedly "Forethought" was born into darkness and, unable to see anything but itself, believed itself to be God. After creating a world, 'Forethought' learned the truth and retaliated by creating death.

Anon posits that this speaks of the Pharaohs, who may have once believed they really were God. Anon considers that Egyptian society eventually became obsessed with death, even before considering life, with people working their whole lives in order to pay for lavish tombs, securing an eternity in the 'western lands' after death.

So yes, from some of the very earliest known human civilizations, the people's whole lives were taken upon the promise of paradise after death.
