I think you are misunderstanding what we are saying. Ancient civilizations viewed the First Civilization with superstitious awe and believed them to be gods. Even TWCB said they came to be seen as gods and saying that it is theory can mean anything as theory is conceptual and based on supposition via observation or passed on knowledge. Anything can be a theory until proven conclusive and fact. TWCB were not gods as they themselves have stated but they came to be seen as such in the AC universe. Whether the native Americans viewed them in this way I can can only theorize but empirical evidence from what we have seen in previous games makes it all the more likely that I am correct.
