Also trying to catch up on Supergirl

[conuly]

The question asks itself: How do the Supergirl cultists even *know* about the gods of Krypton?

Yes, I wondered about that too. I also wondered how DEO had a database of alien language? On a lighter note, almost all aliens seem well versed in English

Turns out the Kryptonians were in the habit of sending out missionary probes. With soil samples. Egads, did they want to cause a bioplague or something?

Kara really mishandled this plot, though. There were many better ways to have dealt with the situation than the one she picked.

Well, I haven't seen it (assuming you are speaking of something film based, I can't be certain), but the answer is in the question. The gods told them, of course! That is part of what it means to be a god: the ability to travel anywhere and anywhen, and communicate with anyone, on a whim.

Supergirl is a TV show, part of the Arrowverse.

It sounded like a TV show from the way you spoke of it, but it could as easily have been a movie, or even a book, so I didn't want to make any presumptions. (I quit watching TV back in the 1980's when I found the SCA and discovered that I would rather do things than sit around staring at a box watching people do things...)

Crisis on Earth X is just amazing storytelling. It cleared up nearly all misgivings I'd been having about the DC-verse. I cannot praise it enough.

Anyway, for your question, the only thing that makes sense is other Kryptonians being around somewhere, or maybe some artifacts and texts wound up on Earth somehow.

[conuly]

Haven't gotten up to that yet. And it turns out it was a voyager probe dealio, because I guess Krypton doesn't have a Prime Directive.

[dhampyresa]

Reverse Voyager?

[conuly]

Apparently. Which makes me think Kara flubbed the whole thing. She took the worst possible route to resolving this. Well, we don't always make the best choices, I guess.
