How can we get materialism to be the dominant metaphysical view before modern times? At the very least, this would imply rejection of an eternal soul or an afterlife, though it need not be completely atheistic (although atheism seems a very logical conclusion)

One way I see this happening is have Early Buddhism go in that direction, but than only takes care of the Eastern World. What materialistic philosophy can take hold in the West before Platonism got popular?
