How did we know of Buddhas other than Gautama Buddha?

Hi,
I'm pretty new to Buddhism and know very little.
So from what I've known, unlike Gautama Buddha, Buddhas like Amitabha Buddha, Medicine Buddha, or Bodhisattvas like Avalokitesvara or Manjusri never lived on the earth. So how did we know they existed?
I'm sorry if my question sounds ignorant or offensive. I just want to learn. Thank you very much
