The Egyptian Gods series ends with the first Gods since the beginning of time. The God of the Earth, Geb was one of the first Gods to appear from the Sea of Chaos. Geb is portrayed as a man; made of earth, with rivers, forests and hills across his entire body. Nut is Geb’s wife who is the Goddess of the Sky. She is portrayed as a woman with skin like a starry sky, dark blue and covered in constellations. She is often pictured stretching over Geb, as the sky stretches over the earth.

Geb is also considered as a father of snakes and has a viper around his neck. It is believed that while he was also related to making soils fertile and habitable, his laughter caused earthquakes.

While the two Gods embody opposites, their inseparable love is unique and impressive. Geb and Nut were twins and were born tightly holding each other’s arms. They had to be separated by their father Shu who is the God of air at birth. This is the symbolic explanation why earth and sky have the air in between them.

According to the legends, during the day, the Sun and the Moon would pass across Nut’s body and Nut would swallow then by dusk. They would then pass through her belly during the night and be reborn at dawn. This is the explanation of the day and night cycle.

Another famous myth talks of how Ra- who is the grandfather of Geb and Nut had heard a prophecy that that one of their children would overthrow him. Due to this insecurity, he warned Nut not to give birth on any of the 365 days of the year. Nut hit upon an idea and gambled with Khonsu for moonlight. She won the gamble and got 5 additional days.  On each day, she delivered one child- Osiris, Horus, Set, Isis, and Nephthys. As punishment for her disobedience, Ra separated Nut and Geb. It is said that despite being separated, their love never diminished. If Nut would try and escape the sky, he ordered the clouds to flicker with lightning and ordered the winds to push her back.
