Myth - Geb

© 2002 N.S. Gill

Known as the Great Cackler because of his association with geese, Geb (Keb or Seb) may have laid the egg from which the sun was hatched.

Geb
Earth god Geb, worshiped in Lower Egypt, was depicted as bearded with a goose on his head. His laughter was thought to cause earthquakes. Geb married his sister Nut, the sky goddess, without Re's permission, for which reason Re separated Earth and Sky.
