For tonight, I tell you the stories of different "lost treasures" and other legends attached to:
1- The Knights Templar, a religious military order that emerged during the Crusades but became so wealthy and influential that it made powerful enemies;
2- The Cathars, a Christian sect from the 12th to 14th Centuries in Southern France and Northern Italy, which was persecuted until it disappeared;
3- The Fabergé Eggs, exquisite pieces of jewelry that were made for the Romanovs in Saint Petersburg in the decades before the Russian Revolution. Out of more than fifty, six eggs are now missing, but as the story of the "Third Imperial" egg indicates, they could maybe reappear one day.

Tonight, I tell you the sleepy stories of four different ghost ships, together with their historical context and what happened to them. Two are fictional: the Flying Dutchman, a flute from the Age of Sails that would have traded between Amsterdam and the Spice Islands, and the Caleuche, a legendary ship on the island of Chiloe, Chile. Two are real: the Mary Celeste that mysteriously lost her crew in the Atlantic Ocean, and the Baychimo, which was abandoned but unexpectedly kept wandering for decades in the waters north of Canada and Alaska.

In this bedtime story, I take you on an underwater cruise to the various layers of the Earth's oceans. I talk about marine life, its evolution, and the conditions it had to adapt to. Types of animals or species we look at in more detail include jellyfish, coral, sharks, giant squids, sperm whales, the components of plankton, fishes from the bathyal zone and below, or the inhabitants of ecosystems around cold seeps and hydrothermal vents. We also make a bit of time travel, and I tell you about some of the largest creatures that dominated our seas from the Cambrian period to today: trilobites, anomalocaris, sea scorpions, placoderm fishes, plesiosaurs, ichthyosaurs, mosasaurs or megalodons.

These include the framing story with Scheherazade and Shahryar, "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves," "The Merchant and the Genie," "Sinbad the Sailor" and his seven voyages, and "Aladdin and the Magic Lamp." I also tell you a little bit about where this compilation of stories comes from.

Tonight, I tell you three different stories:
- Area 51: How did this USAF base gain its reputation for being at the center of numerous conspiracies, including the dissimulation and reverse-engineering of alien technology? We take a look at what is documented, from its creation in 1955 as a test facility for the Lockheed U-2 reconnaissance aircraft, to the study of foreign technology and the intense secrecy around the base's activities.
- Chaco Canyon is a large archaeological site in New Mexico, built more than a thousand years ago and over several generations by the Ancestral Puebloans. But it was obviously not just a residence settlement: What is the meaning, and the function of these alignments based on astronomical observation and cardinal directions, the care given to landscaping, or this enigmatic web of roads that radiate from the canyon?
- The Toba Catastrophe Theory hypothesizes that a supervolcano that erupted around 70,000 years ago in Indonesia would have dramatically affected the course of life on Earth, including mankind. What are supervolcanoes? What is it based on? What could have happened?
