Based on my research, coming from a completely different direction (a geographer from oversees), I have to agree. A "temple of life" is extremely correct. In my view, it was just that -- a celebration of fertility, reminding of a pregnant "mother Earth", with all the female reproduction parts... Just paint the quarts stone facade red, and you'll see the similarity even better (do it on a picture, though;-)
