God Geb | God of the Earth
Fact About God Geb
The Egyptians believed that Geb's laughter caused earthquakes and that his kindness allowed crops to grow. Some priests considered him the first king of Egypt. The god Geb was the personification of the earth and was one of the most important and eternal deities. His long-standing status is evident from his frequent mention in the Pyramid Texts as one of the most frequently mentioned gods in the texts; he is often compared or contrasted with the god Ra or other important deities of the afterlife for the ancient Egyptians.
Geb was also considered the ruling god, and the rule was given to Horus the king as the son of the god Osiris, the grandson of the god Geb, and the heir to his throne on earth. The lovemaking between Geb and Nut gave life to the earth, after which they were separated by Shu, the god of air. One of his titles is “Father of Serpents.”
Geb was considered the heir of the gods as the son of the gods Atum and Shu. He was closely associated with kingship as the father of the god Osiris, the legendary king; the king himself was known as the heir of Geb. Geb played a significant role in the transfer of legitimate kingship and in the myth of the conflict between Horus and Set.
Geb is represented in human form like all other cosmic deities, or he is also represented in human form with the crown of Lower Egypt, or bent on his side supporting himself with one of his arms under the sky according to his mythological role.
He may also be depicted as a white-fronted goose, or as a man holding a goose in his hand, in connection with the creation process, and a goose may appear on his head, to distinguish him as in the attached figure. He was also depicted with the head of a rabbit in the tomb of "Ramses VI". In all his forms, "Geb's" skin may take on a green color as a symbol of fertility and the green plants that grow on it, and sometimes his body may be decorated with plants.
