It is the other way around. Civilization did not create the gods. The gods created the civilizations and somehow became tied to it to an unknown degree. Egyptian culture has faded and the Egyptian gods imprisoned for thousands of years, but they are still a viable power. No one has really heard of Khione yet she is still a force to be reckoned with. Kronos was sliced to a thousand pieces and eventually pulled himself together.

For the Norse gods, they exist in other worlds. We don't know how big Alfheim and Nidvillar are, but both are well aware of the Aesir and possibly still worship the. The Olympians are confined to one world. The Norse gods have nine worlds to worry about.
