Seb.

西兰花

Seb is the god of the earth.His tears created the oceans.

Associated with vegetation and the lush farm land of the Nile, Geb was painted green with patches of vegetation over his body when he was in human form. He’s also usually shown reclining beneath Nut leaning on one elbow and one knee bent toward the sky to represent the mountains and valleys. Earthquakes were thought to be his laughter, and he was thought to supply the minerals and precious stones from the mines and caves of Egypt.

However, his role had a dark side. Having authority over the tombs buried in the earth, Geb was able to imprison the dead in his body. Therefore, he was often depicted by the base of the sarcophagus and his wife on the cover, indicating that the dead were protected by both deities.

Seb是大地之神。他的眼泪创造了海洋。

与尼罗河的植被和茂盛的农田联系在一起，当他变成人类形态时，盖布被涂成绿色，身上覆盖着一片片植被。他也经常被描绘成倚靠着Nut，一只胳膊肘和一只膝盖弯向天空，代表山脉和山谷。地震被认为是他的笑声，人们认为他从埃及的矿井和洞穴中提供矿物和宝石。

然而，他的角色有黑暗的一面。Seb对埋在地下的坟墓有权柄，他能把死者禁锢在自己的身体里。因此，他和他的妻子经常被描绘在石棺的底座封面上，表明死者受到两个神的保护。
