Lots of early religions had virgin births, and rising from he dead too, for that matter.
Wikipedia has a good list under "List of Virgin Births". Skeptics claim this is an example of early plagiarism of ideas into new religions.
I've ordered the list in approximately chronological order. As an aside, the Winter Solstice (around December 25) has been popular for Virgin Births probably due with its tie-in to the return of the sun and increasing fertility of the earth.
The list is not limited to gods or prophets. Kings, conquerors, philosophers and founders arrived this way.
A summary of them with the virgin mother indicated where known:
Assyrian and Babylonian religions: Tammuz, Zoroaster, Tukulti-Ninurta II, Ashurbanipal Egyptian Religions: Pharaoh Amenkept III by Mut-emm-ua. Ra god of the sun
Hinduism: Krishna, Karna
Greco-Roman religions: Alexander the great, Zethus and Amphion by Antiope, Auge, Gionysus Melanippe, Mithras by a rock, Romulus by Rea Sivia
Chinese tradition: Lao Tzu, Genghis Khan
Buddhism: Gautama Buddha by Maya
Christianity: Jesus by Mary == ==
