The Bizarre Museum Heist to Steal ... Birds

Description: Visit https://brilliant.org/scishow/ to get started learning STEM for free and get 20% off their annual premium subscription.

In 2009, a man named Edwin Rist planned a museum heist. His target wasn't jewels, or fossils, or the Declaration of Independence. It was bird skins. It took just over a year for authorities to track him down, largely because the authorities couldn't imagine what a thief would want with hundreds of skinned birds. So let's talk about what museums do with these skins, why Rist wanted them, and the researcher who found himself in the middle of this story.

Thanks to Richard Prum for appearing in this video!

This video relied on reporting from "The Feather Thief: Beauty, Obsession, and the Natural History Heist of the Century" by Kirk Wallace Johnson, among other sources.

Between 1485 and 1551, England was hit by at least five epidemics of sweating sickness. But after that, the disease supposedly vanished off the face of the Earth. With fatality rates as high as 90% according to some sources (perhaps closer to 30–50% on average), and death often coming in less than a day, it was far more serious than its name might suggest. And scientists still aren't sure what caused it.

Corrections:
1:33 This should say that Christianity became the official religion in the 4th century CE.
5:07 This should say that Champollion approached it as a phonetic writing system rather than a logographic one.
5:50 This should say “We now know that hieroglyphs are a mix of semantic and phonetic”

And despite being under construction, it's still managed to record an event that could rewrite the astrophysics textbooks.
