This vageuly reminds me of the "Da Vinci Code." They make a claim that the Mayans (IIRC) had a divine image of a mother and child, and this was clearly the inspiration for Jesus and the Virgin Mary... not explaining how to unconnected cultures influenced eachother, or why a mother holding a baby isn't just a universal image.
You said it ! ... This is the oldest image our culture preserved. It existed in ancient Egypt already (Isis), and who knows from where it came before.
This is the Universal Mother, and the Child is the Christ who's... ALL of US.
He' not especially Jesus who'll rather be considered as an individual conceptualy speaking in such representation, and as an archetype for what he's accomplished (we only begin to understand 2000 years after).
