Instead of using the assumption of other advanced civilizations to explain how relatively simple folk could achieve such results, an alternate explanation is the brain is more than the conscious mind. Their conscious mind fit their times but the unconscious mind exerted at a more advanced state of mind than the capabilities in their conscious mind. They were able to tap into these higher processing areas of the brain that are traditionally unconscious. They projected this affect into their gods with them thinking this knowledge was from the gods.

For example, invention is not a course you can take in school, or else everyone would be inventing. It requires a certain type of natural skill that allows unconscious processing and an interface to the conscious mind. The idea pops into the imagination with logic and action coming after. But there was no logic to record, which may be why it was not written in records. The ideas of higher civilizations or even UFO's helping also imply intelligence higher than the base level of their conscious minds. This is the unconscious mind.

To put it in perspective, simple walking is so easy a 1 year old child to go it with the conscious mind. But if we dig deeper that simple motion is very complex in terms of all the muscles and muscle fibers that that need to be controlled and coordinated. This is all processed at an unconscious level. Even computer simulations of walking and robots, with supercomputers, don't get it quite as smooth as natural. If we tried to do all this consciously the walking will look like an old fashion robot.

Picture if while you were walking, you were conscious of all these things going on in the background, so you can perceive say 20 multi-tasks at the same time. It is hard to describe but the gist could make programming walking much more efficient. It may go in a new direction that looks like an alien showed you. Nobody could teach you this but it would be a creative impulse to do the impossible for that time based on a conscious effort. We are more comfortable saying Atlantis or UFO's because the unconscious is a scary place and reminds you of psychosis, where you hear voices and see things that are not in reality, such as those funny pyramids things being assembled before they were.
