re: When did the idea that we're all "created equally" become a widely held belief?

We're all shite. Hunks of sentient carbon on this flying ball of rock and water, hurtling through space at 900 miles per second, through a galaxy that we are an infinitesimally insignificant part of.
Kings whose dynasties ruled for hundreds of years are forgotten today. Relagated to the dustbin of history.
You will die after a terribly brief interval upon this earth, be chucked into the dirt, and forgotten as your loved ones slowly stop bringing flowers to your grave. Eventually, your progeny, if you are lucky enough to have them, will forget where you are buried. Barring being some powerful psychopath who slaughters millions, you will be utterly disremembered except for a possible footnote on ancestry.com.
The world will move on and you will not. You will rot. So will we all.
And one day the Sun will explode and the great magnificence our species has created shall be snuffed in an instant. We as a race will have, metaphorically and literally, bit it.
So a bit of feel good words written on parchment isn't going to matter. Equal.
Hah. We're equal before we are alive and after.
That's it.

If our species manages to last another 5.4 billion years then I'd guarantee the sun exploding wouldn't be a problem.
I don't see us lasting a million
