I wonder how much of this is due to the fact that you also just described 90% of manwha/webtoons currently running.
I think it's more that culturally we've become obsessed with that period due to modern romanticism and the Disney-fying of classic fairytales, which tend to be in that period. Other stuff like Tolkien being vaguely-medieval in appearance. All this lead to shit like Reniassance festivals, which are into fairies etc, which is more in the realm of neo-pagan and witchcraft obsessions, but definitely had an effect on the growth of the esoteric in its early days with sekret knowledge of the Bible and mysticism from those times. Even the Japanese are obsessed with that time period if their weeb media is any reflection, though not sure how they got into the European part of it so hardcore.
Accepting reincarnation is real, why are all these people still people, too? There were far fewer people in the past, so where do all the extra souls come from?
Alternatively, if you're one of those who believes in cyclical human history (like some of the "Atlantians") then doesn't that mean you were just waiting around for tens of thousands of years for the population to get large enough for you to come back? You're telling me no one got bored and said "Yeah sure, I'll be an ant for a while. It'll be a nice vacation until some kid fries me with a magnifying glass."
It's a classic example of Western sensibilities looking at eastern religions and philosophy back in the day and going "I like this idea, but I'm a person and more important than a rabbit." It doesn't add to the illusion that they have secret esoteric knowledge and connection with the metaphysical and are super important compared to the blind faithfuls of mainstream religion.
It is funny how all of this shit essentially leads back to one crazy Russian aristocratic woman who had a penchant for weaving really good tall tales. Also don't mention she specifically hated the Jews in particular and the blacks, as was tradition at the time.

This specimen has a video on his Atlantis past life AND his Egyptian past life. He was there during the destruction of Atlantis, naturally. And was also a thuper special high priest demi-god.
His room is also very special. Can't tell if its his special room or his bedroom. I'm hoping it was his bedroom.
Another angle of the bedroom with bonus Egyptian reincarnation story.
He also makes rap music about it.
I love him.
I wonder how much of this reincarnation regression session has similar tactics to the regression therapy where people are suddenly "remembering" that they were child victims of satanic murder sex cults, that were essentially implanted by the therapist or psychologist doing the session.
