YEARS  AGO
Some researchers think the rounded rooms of the temples may even be shaped in the image of a Neolithic goddess of fertility.

In the earliest of times people observed that it was the female animals that gave birth and fed their young.  Many identified their god as a female source of creation and nourishment.  For the native American Indians and other indigenous cultures, people who depended directly on the earth to fulfill their needs had a more formal concept of what we call "Mother Nature".  Goddesses abounded in the religions of the ancient world.

In the case of statuary and sculptures of the temple builders, many of the ritualistic figures (including the ones wearing skirts,) do not have uncontested definition of whether they are male or female.   This was intentional, since the sculptors were fully capable of showing realistic body parts when they wished.  Perhaps illustrating gender was not the main desire in designing these ritual figures.

Highly stylized hairdos appear on the recovered artifacts, as well as textiles and tailored garments.  There are no beards depicted on any of the figures.
