When was Death first personified in history?

I’ll probably leave this up here if the moderators of this subreddit don’t take it down since I’d rather leave it in a place where someone who can actually answer might come across it. Of course the average person doesn’t want to spend their day researching for someone else, but if there’s any competitive types or someone like that who are interested in helping me overcome the obstacle that is apparently the most unanswerable question on the internet that should have a definite answer, I beg you to please help. I will of course be looking it up as well when I can, but I won’t need an answer for quite some time as this isn’t something I need to determine the plot of my book but rather just a tidbit that most certainly needs to be in it. In the mean time if you want to try and challenge this venture, you’d have my immense gratitude!
