Dig It With Raven

New video on Monday! I'll be transitioning from weekly videos to bi-weekly because having a full time job and also trying to have a social life on top of YouTube is a very full schedule! So until I am able to do YouTube full time (THE DREAM) I'll be doing the best I can in putting out regular, predictable content.

📚 On that note! We're just WEEKS away from the hardcover release of my book: The Other Ancient Civilisations!!
For those of you who have read it, what was your favourite lesser-known ancient culture or civilisation from the following? 📚

VOTE FOR ME!! Have you ever wondered, what does Raven do for a living? WELL, I work at the Natural History Museum in London and my team creates online Masterclass-type courses all about the natural world with our amazing scientists. The whole team has been working non-stop for over a year to create an immersive learning platform, and I think we've done a pretty bang-up job!

Turns out, the Webby Awards thinks so too! Our course platform, Naturally Curious, has been shortlisted for best education site. The Webby Awards is the leading international award honouring excellence on the Internet, and has been called “The Internet's highest honour” by the New York Times.

If you'd like to help us win the People's Voice Award for Best Education Website, please vote for Naturally Curious!!

Voting is public, and open until this Thursday
Sign up and vote for Naturally Curious here: vote.webbyawards.com/PublicVoting#/2025/websites-a…
PLEASE share everywhere, and make sure to confirm your email so the vote counts.

I know this isn't very archaeology-based, but I would really appreciate the vote if you can spare the time. If we win, I will share a very cheesy photo of the team and I posing with our slinky-shaped trophy

Exciting news for Monday! It's a double-header collab with Rachel from ‪@Inside_Archaeology‬! If you haven't seen Rachel's videos yet, she is your go-to for monthly archaeology news. SO at 6pm UK time on Monday, my video with Rachel will premiere and we will all hang out. Then once my video ends, Rachel's will premiere and we will all head over and hang out there!!

Any guesses on what the video on this channel is going to be? HINT a 90s animated musical was made about this REVOLUTIONARY mystery

No video today (SAD) so let's do a quiz instead to test your knowledge from last week's video!

How old was the ancient cheese found around the necks of the Tarim Basin mummies? 🧀

SIGNED BOOK ALERT!

Attention residents of Brussels! There is a signed copy of my book available at Waterstones for you to grab. This was the first time I saw my book on a shelf in a store and was such a surreal moment (if you follow me on Instagram you might have seen my hunt and excitement in my stories). Seeing it organically in a bookstore has finally made it feel real!

The staff at the store are wonderful and have even suggested an in-person event so if you're in the area, comment on this post so I can get an idea of interest!

What does cheese say when it sees itself in a mirror? Halloumi!! 🧀

The oldest cheese in the world was discovered around the necks of mummies in China and today's video is a deep dive into the science and archaeology behind it.

Come to the premiere tonight with your best cheese puns!

New 'Archaeologists React to ___' video coming out next week! Those who were hanging out at the premiere this week got a bit of a clue as to what movie we're covering, but I'll put it again here: 💎💀

I must say this is by far the longest and most raw reaction video to date! I flew across the world to bring on a VERY special guest. They've been on the channel before so put your guesses in the comments! I'll be hanging out for the full video during the Premiere on Monday and I can't wait to watch and react with you all.

Catch up on all the other reaction videos here: www.youtube.com/playlist?list...
