In this episode, I tell you about the history of the Phoenicians and their cities (Byblos, Tyre, Sidon...), including the most famous of all: Carthage. I discuss various topics, like the Late Bronze Age Collapse, Phoenician culture, religion, and society, what Canaan and the Levant are, how ancient maritime trade worked, the rise of Carthage and how the confrontation with Rome in the Punic Wars turned out.

The Ninth Legion (Legio IX Hispana, also sometimes called the "Lost Legion") had a long history. It served under the command of Julius Caesar during the First Century BC, on the side of Octavian in the civil war against Mark Antony and Cleopatra, and was sent to Spain, Germania, Pannonia, and Britain. In Roman Britain, it fought against rebellions, including the rebellion of Queen Boudica in which it narrowly avoided destruction. But its trace was lost in Northern England in the early Second Century AD, which is highly unusual for such an important unit at a time when the Roman Empire was in good shape overall. Was it destroyed in Britain by Celtic tribes, sent to the Netherlands, or did it disappear in a later conflict in Judea or Cappadocia? In this story, we examine the hypotheses and historical context, which provides a good opportunity to explore what Roman legions were, the conquest of Roman Britain, and other aspects of Roman history.

This soft-spoken bedtime story is a journey to the discovery of exoplanets. We will visit some of them, like Proxima Centauri B, OTS 44 and Kepler 438b. I will also tell you about the different types of planets and stars, including stars that no longer shine like old white dwarfs or neutron stars; methods to discover planets that are invisible from Earth, like Transit Photometry or Doppler Spectroscopy; and astrobiology: the field of research that studies the possibility of extraterrestrial life.

In this soft-spoken sleepy bedtime story, I tell you about the History of Astrology: how it appeared as a discipline that was not formally separated from Astronomy across different cultures (Babylon, China, India, Egypt, Greece, the Islamic World, the Maya...), and how it evolved. Western Astrology, with its zodiac signs, birth charts, horoscopes, and individualized predictions, is a tradition that began to form more than 2,000 years ago in the Eastern Mediterranean. Even though critiques of the practice are probably as ancient as Astrology itself (some Roman authors, Muslim scholars, and various religious traditions were vocal about their rejection of it), Astrology survived its separation from Astronomy and even thrived in the West since the 20th Century.

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.

I tell you several famous stories from this compilation of Middle Eastern and North African folk tales and legends. 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?Welcome to Lights Out Library

This is a soft-spoken science bedtime story about Earth: its formation, its structure, and how mankind perceived the World before its exploration and the space age. In this video, I tell you about what we know or suppose of Earth's formation in the solar system, its geology, its internal structure from the crust to the core, and how all these interact. We discuss plate tectonics and continental drift, the chemical elements our planet is made of, its temperature, its future in several billion years, its magnetic field and how it could be generated by its metallic core, and many more things.

In these three new historical mysteries, I tell you about the Pythia, the High Priestess of Apollo in Delphi, who for more than a millennium delivered sought-after prophecies in a state of frenzy - but the Oracle may have been more ancient than Classical Greece. The second story is about the myth of changelings, that is to say newborns, or young children that would have been exchanged by fairies, or trolls in the Scandinavian version. Why this belief, and how did it appear? I also added a touch of true crime with the story of Bridget Cleary, a woman murdered in 1895 because she was believed to be a changeling. The third story takes us from Russia and Germany to the USA in the 20th Century: who were all these women claiming to be Grand Duchess Anastasia, the youngest daughter of the last Tsar of Russia, miraculously alive? This modern mystery found an answer thanks to DNA, I tell you how, and a little bit about Eugenia Smith or Anna Anderson.

In this soft-spoken bedtime story, I tell you about the History of the Norsemen in the Middle Ages. At the end of the Eighth Century, they embarked on raids, explorations, and conquests farther and farther from their homelands in Scandinavia. This took them as far east as the Volga River in Russia and Byzantium, and as far west as America, even though they did not stay there for long. They founded colonies such as Iceland or Vineland in Newfoundland, Canada, created new states such as the Kievan Rus', and settled in regions like Yorkshire or Normandy. We explore the reasons why they suddenly became outward-looking, what their societies were like, and how things unfolded until Christianization and the formation of larger kingdoms in Scandinavia (in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark), that put an end to the Viking Age.

We will discover the story of Maui, his fight with goddess Hine, the origins of the gods starting with Rangi and Papa from the Maori tradition, more divinities (Tane of the forest and the birds, Tangaroa of the sea, Tawhirimatea of storms and winds...) and the creation of men and women.
