Geb God of the Earth
Geb in ancient Egyptian (English: Geb) is one of the gods of the ancient Egyptians and belongs to the so-called "ninth of Heliopolis". According to ancient Egyptian religious legend, he is the brother of the sky goddess Nut, and the two are the Sons of the air God Shu and his wife Tefnut, who was considered the goddess of moisture and water, but archaeologists currently describe her as the goddess of "fire", as she carries the eye of RA (The Sun).
His Statue
Shu separates Geb (the Earth) from Nut (the Sky). We also see several images of Horus and the eye of Horus, and two solar chariots holding Ra and MAAT (on top of which is a feather).
Geb is represented in the image of a seated human, colored green. In most of the drawings we find him lying on the ground as to the ground-and surmounted by his sister and wife not the goddess of heaven, sometimes we find him depicted in the form of a standing man holding a scepter (Wass scepter), and in his right hand he holds Ankh, the sign of life. He is also sometimes depicted in the form of a human with a goose on his head, and his name is also written from two syllables: a goose and a man, where the man is pronounced as the letter "B". The goose that the ancient Egyptians chose to write the name "Geb" is a Nile goose that was domesticated by them at the beginning of time.
In the ancient Egyptian religion
According to ancient Egyptian religious legend, Geb married his sister Nut and gave birth to Osiris, Isis, Set, and Nephthys. This legend also promises that " Geb " and Nut also gave birth to the sun, and thus they are the fathers of the group of Gods in which the ancient Egyptians believed.
Its importance
"Geb" is the most important symbolic deity of the earth - along with Sokar and AKR, for which religious rituals were held for them in some regions of Pharaonic Egypt. He gives Man the Earth and its riches, and sometimes causes an earthquake of the earth, as was believed by the ancient Egyptians. On his back, plants and cereals arise and grow, he is the source of water and everything that comes out of the earth, he is thus considered a god of fertility. He is considered the successor of his grandfather Atom and father Shu, who then withdrew to their heavenly pasture. And the "coward" remained on earth as a patron of the right of kingship.
Pharaoh was the " successor of Geb "and the ancient Egyptians believed that Pharaoh was only a confirmation of the"throne of Geb".
His areas of worship
Geb was revered in Heliopolis as the father of the gods in particular Osiris. Jebb was also worshipped in MANF and Kom Ombo, as mentioned on the walls of the temple of Amun in the city of "hebes". His paintings have G
In the religion of the Greeks

He was the son of King Khasekhemwy and Queen Nimaathap, but whether he was also the direct successor to their throne is unclear. Most Ramesside king lists identify a king named Nebka as preceding him, but there are difficulties in connecting that name with contemporary Horus names, so some Egyptologists question the received throne sequence. Djoser is known for his step pyramid, which is the earliest colossal stone building in ancient Egypt
