Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

Geb - this god was the son of Shu and Tefnut and the brother and husband of Nut (sky god). He was often pictured with a goose on his head or as a goose. Earthquakes were believed to be the laughter of Geb and the Earth was called "the house of Geb". Also, "he is one of the gods who watch the weighing of the heart of the deceased in the Judgement Hall of Osiris."

Horus - The falcon-headed god; the kings of Egypt associated themselves with Horus. He also was associated with the Sphinx, the Sun and as the son of Osiris and Isis. He took on different forms in various parts of Egypt and to resolve this conflict, he was given different names such as: Harmakhis or Harsiesis for each form.
