If the story regarding the deity brothers are true, yet told as a story, I have a theory. It's a plot used in many other stories two. What if the two brothers were some sort of alien race or human progenitors that came to Remnant for colonization? They came to Remnant with advanced technology.The Relics were just powerful tools so advanced that it seemed like magic. But somewhere down the line the process didn't turn out well so they just up and left. Then whatever humans left in the world just took over. The story just muddled the events to make it seem like a religous tale. This might explain the large gap in the far beginnings of the world's history. Again, just a crazy theory.

As a side note, the Faunus could have been the dominant species on Remnant before humans came. That could also explain their history too.
