how could we be sure that these ancient peoples are not simply drawing fanciful "Gods" that don't exist in reality?

I'm sorry, but that's ridiculous.
Why would people around the time of being created question how they were created and pass down theories?
Your theory makes no sense.

Sorry, but that is exactly how early religion came about. Early man had questions about his origins, what happened after death, and what forces drove the world around them. They created stories to explain these mysteries, and these stories formed the basis of religion.

So, can you please provide evidence to your claims with links... etc ...and what not.
During their evolution from proto-human to full human, they developed questions about themselves and their environment...Living in a pre-scientific society, people had no way to resolve these questions...the need for answers were so important that some response was required, even if they were merely based on hunches. Some people within the tribe started to invent answers based on their personal guesses. SOURCE

Apparently you think they were pretty daft and couldn't comprehend things that were happening around them.

Not in the least. Primitive peoples were as smart as us; they were just not as knowledgable. They filled the gaps in their knowledge with stories to explain the things they could not understand.

The appearence of Quetzacoatl in central Mexico was at the same time Jesus was missing from Europe. The Aztecs made anyone a god that had a red beard. Food for thought.
