Archaeology Soup idents

This article is intended mainly as a fun overview of all the various idents Archaeology Soup has used so far.
This article is currently in development.
== 1. Animated general opening (intro) idents ==
These are general intro idents to Archaeology Soup videos that utilise animation.

=== Hominid striking stones together ===
Description: Close-up on a tiny hominid (possibly homo erectus or earlier) sitting on top of the skull from the ArchaeoSoup logo and striking two stones together. Presumably attempting primitive flaking to create a simple stone tool.
Examples:
=== Early medieval archer shooting an adversary ===
Description: Atop the ArchaeoSoup logo stand two early medieval soldiers inspired by the illustrations from the Bayeux tapestry. The one on the left is an archer, the one to the right a melee footsoldier. The archer shoots his bow and the arrow strikes the footsoldier in the eye. The footsoldier lets out the famous Wilhelm scream (sound effect in-joke).
Examples:
=== Viking drakkar sailing in the ArchaeoSoup ===
Description: A viking langskip (drakkar) sailing on a strange green-coloured sea. The camera zooms back to reveal the "sea" is actually the ArchaeoSoup logo, a bowl with greenish soup. Echoing battlecries of the viking raiders are heard during this animated sequence.
Examples:
=== Spirals, whimsical music and the ArchaeoSoup logo ===
Description: A white and purple spiral rotates in the background, while the Archaeology Soup logo is at the centre, zooming slightly forward and then backward. This is all accompanied by a frantic but whimsical tune.
Examples: Fire at Notre-Dame Cathedral: How Eggs Saved the Day!
Trivia: This ident is inspired by the well-known (and frequently parodied) intertitles used in the 1960s Batman television series, known for its intentionally comedic nature and exaggerated comic book inspired elements.

=== d.) Patreon ident: Cleaning an unearthed shard of pottery ===
Description: An unearthed piece of fictional ancient pottery is being cleaned under a stream of water, with the help of an old toothbrush repurposed for archaeological work. When the cleaned pottery shard is placed closely in front of the camera, we see that it carries a ceramic Patreon ornament. The entire ident is accompanied by a voiceover stating "Consider supporting ArchaeoSoup on Patreon, for as little as a dollar per month. Link available in the video description.".

=== g.) Patreon ident: Homage to the face-melting scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark ===
Description: A henchmen of the nazi villains from Raiders of the Lost Ark is set alight and slowly melts. This is accompanied by sound effects filled with comical, drawn-out shrieking (performed by presenter Marc). The entire ident is accompanied by a voiceover stating "Consider supporting ArchaeoSoup on Patreon, for as little as a dollar per month. Link available in the video description.".
Trivia: The melting face gag is inspired by the creepy scene in the climax of Raiders of the Lost Ark, where several of the bad guys and assorted henchmen's faces and bodies literally melt, once exposed to the true power of the Ark of the Covenant (which they wanted to harness for their own nefarious purposes, only to be done in by their arrogance).
