Geb 5

The information below intrigues me. I've never heard of a culture that had a male earth deity. Extra star for uniqueness !

Geb 5

Interestingly,the Egyptians were one of the few cultures to personify the Earth as male.Geb is the son of Shu (air/wind) and Tefnut (rain,moisture),and the Father of Osiris,Set,Isis and Nepthys.His Father (wind) separated him from his embrace with his sister/wife Nuit,(The Goddess of Heaven,the starry night sky) in the Helioptian Creation Myth.Sometimes he is referred to as the Great Cackler as he laid the Great Egg from which the World was born.He is usually shown in human form with a Goose Headdress.He is also shown lying prone beneath Nuit who arches above him,symbolizing Earth and Sky.
