Geb (Ancient Egyptian: gbb, Egyptological pronunciation: Gebeb), also known as Ceb (/ˈsɛb/, /ˈkɛb/),[a] was the Egyptian god of the Earth[1] and a mythological member of the Ennead of Heliopolis. He could also be considered a father of snakes. It was believed in ancient Egypt that Geb's laughter created earthquakes[2] and that he allowed crops to grow.
