Best Answer

Geb is usually represented in the form of a man who who wears either the white crown to which is added the Atef crown, or a goose. The Goose was his sacred animal and symbal. As the God of earth, the earth formed his body and was called the "house of Geb," just as the air was called the "house of Shu," and the heaven the "house of Ra," Hence,. he was also often portrayed laying on his side on the earth, and was sometimes even painted green, with plants springing from his body. Earthquakes were believed to be the laughter of Geb.

What are ancient Egyptian god's powers?

Gods have been used in all religions, certain religion practices worshipping many gods, or like in the Catholic religion, only one God. The ancient Egyptians, however, worshipped over 1,000 gods and goddesses. Each god was to represent an element, and having the powers of their element. A good example is Geb, the earth god. Geb is supposedly the ground we walk on, and his body is covered in green grass, sand, mountains, and rivers. He can cause fires if he so desires or make his rivers flood, or he can make his sand dunes turn into sandstorms. The Egyptians believed that when Geb sneezed, he caused wind.


What is the name of the Egyptian god of earth?

'Geb' is the God of the earth in ancient Egyptian mythology. As far as I know, there is no Goddess. Geb is the brother and husband of 'Nut' (The Goddess of the daytime sky and where clouds were formed). He is the son of 'Shu' (a God associated with sunlight and heat) and 'Tefnut' (a goddess who was the personification of the moisture in the sky/air).
