Geb - God of Earth

Geb, the god of Earth, is known by a variety of names, including Chief of Gods, The Great Cackler, and Father of the Gods. He was one of the nine beings known as the Ennead of Heliopolis, who came to Earth from the Sirius star system. Geb is a third-generation god and the child of Su and Tefnut. He is the brother of Nut's consort and the father of Isis and Osiris.


On papyri from the New Kingdom, he often wears the crown of Lower Egypt and is depicted lying on the ground with his arms outstretched, one to the sky and the other to the ground.


He stands out because he is green and has vegetation sprouting from him. He possesses healing abilities, especially against scorpion stings.

He is both a mediator between good and evil and a god concerned with the conflict between Horus and Seth.

Geb
, who was also known as the Father of Snakes, stood for healing and harvests. This bearded god, who wore a goose on his head, was said to chuckle and make earthquakes. He had a significant part in the Book of the Dead as the person who measures the dead's hearts in Osiris' Judgment Hall. The prehistoric Egyptians thought he kept the souls of the evil.
