The old ones with lots of gods started out the same way. It was a way to describe one thing, the descriptions turned to metaphors and the naming of each aspect of the one thing, those names in later years were taken as their own individual dieties, this process of piling on and naming aspects is recorded in Hinduism which started Monotheistic and in the description of the one and humanization of it, it became many.
