marvel has revealed to us thru the current thor storyline (and way back
when the celestials made their appearance in thor) that the asgardians
and the other mythical earth gods do not represent any conventional civilization.
in fact, they can be considered just extensions of a collective human
consciousness (can anyone tell me what i just said???)

the gods go thru a cycle of birth, death, and rebirth.  there is no real
need for them to advance technologically.  they simply reflect the
state of civilization at the time they are reborn.

this set of asgardians were born about 2000 years ago (according to the
celestials saga).  if they look primitive, you should have seen the
norse gods that were around before them.  at least the asgardians dress
nice.  and the gods that were around about 5000 years ago were even more
different (the asgardian cycle was about 2000 years).  their odin was
called woden.
