Not really a point to this post, just a thought I had. Bit of a ramble. Do the Aiel and the Amayar believe in reincarnation?

I realised a bit ago that the Aiel and Amayar have similar philosophies(?) about life not being real (which I think is a cool world building detail that two cultures so distantly separated but with the same common ancestor in the da'shain Aiel which suggests that the da'shain had a similar philosophy towards life and also hints towards the distant connection between the Amayar and the Aiel.) which we don't see a similar view from any other cultures (at least I don't remember if there is) who all believe that when you die you're soul goes back to the Wheel and is eventually spun back out. Even distant and barbarian cultures like the Seanchan believe in the Wheel and reincarnation (maybe other ideas existed amongst the natives before the Seanchan Empire genocided them but).
