I would think that a belief in the Afterlife was paramount around this time so people could easily be manipulated into doing/building things by an organised hierarchy to reach that goal. What would be more rewarding than to believe you were going to live again in a Utopian world compared to what you would be leaving behind?


It's certainly a possibility..
