golden geb statue figure from tutankhamun 3d printable model
Geb and Nut are prominent figures in Egyptian mythology. Geb is known as the god of the Earth, often depicted with a viper around his head. He was believed to be responsible for creating earthquakes and ensuring the growth of crops. In some representations, Geb is shown as an anthropomorphic figure, while in others he takes the form of a ram, bull, or crocodile. Geb is also considered a divine king of Egypt, passing his land down to his son Osiris and grandson Horus after defeating the disruptive god Set.
Nut, on the other hand, is the sky goddess and wife of Geb. She is associated with the visible daytime and nightly firmament. Together, Geb and Nut represent the boundary between the primeval waters and the newly created world. In mythological depictions, Geb is often shown reclining, symbolizing his separation from Nut by the god of the air, Shu. Over time, Geb became linked to the habitable land of Egypt and was seen as a ruler of the underworld, freshwater, and vegetation.
