The ancient Egyptian writing system (hieroglyphs) did not record any vowel sounds - exactly as in ancient Arabic, Hebrew and Phoenician. The Egyptians knew which vowels to use in each word but today that knowledge is lost.

Egyptologists generally use the vowel "e" to stand for all those missing vowels, so the name written gb in hieroglyphs becomes Geb - but we can never know the correct pronunciation. So, you can say Geb any way you like - it will always be incorrect!
