Geb
Geb was the Egyptian god of the earth . He could also be considered a father of snakes. It was believed in ancient Egypt that Geb's laughter created earthquakes and that he allowed crops to grow.The oldest representation in a fragmentary relief of the god was as an anthropomorphic bearded being accompanied by his name. In later times he could also be depicted as a ram, a bull or a crocodile. Geb was frequently feared as father of snakes (one of the names for snake was s3-t3 – "son of the earth"). In a Coffin Texts spell Geb was described as father of the mythological snake Nehebkau of primeval times. Geb could also be regarded as personified fertile earth and barren desert, the latter containing the dead or setting them free from their tombs.
