As an example, for humans as 'gods'..

In the ancient past they didn't call themselves gods. Other much less technologically advanced humans called them that.

That then got carried forward through oral history.

Just like the primitive island Cargo Cult in the south Pacific did with Americans and Allied Forces landing on their island in WWII. They saw the people flying in the sky as 'gods'.

One things for sure, the human 'gods' that built in the Pyramid Era on this planet had definite advanced knowledge and skills and were advanced in medicine too - obviously.
