Yes, if those people are technologically so advanced as to be indistinguishable from wizards. In Graham Hancocks mythology, these people brought the secrets of agriculture and advanced maths to indigenous peoples around the world. A lot of his evidence for this comes from ancient religious texts and artifacts. So, if these people are so advanced that they are worshiped by the natives I think it's fair to say he is describing a super race.

technologically

Not only that, according to his lore they also had psionic powers and could make stuff levitate.

Wonder if they were friends with the lost civilization on Mars (yes, he also believes this)...

If you believe Edgar Cayce then this is fact, but then you have to believe in channeling and spirit and all kinds of kooky shit. But who really knows anyway?

Sure techno wizards sound cool AF. Still don't see how this is a super race when its just people who travel to other places after their civilization gets flushed. If we collapse and I move to south america am I a "super race" or did I just move a bit lol

South America has the equivalent level of technology to wherever you come from so no. You wouldn't be different enough to change any civilizational paradigms. For a less strawmanny example, if you moved to another country tomorrow and revealed the secrets to clean, unlimited power and used techniques and methods to do so that were far outside of our current understanding of physics then maybe you would be.
