This week in history delivered some of the most consequential moments ever recorded — across continents, centuries, and every field of human endeavour. On October 2, 48 BC, Julius Caesar arrived in Alexandria to find his rival Pompey already murdered, setting in motion his fateful encounter with Cleopatra. On September 28, 1066, William the Conqueror landed at Pevensey, days away from the Battle of Hastings and the transformation of England forever.

In Vienna on September 30, 1791, Mozart conducted the premiere of The Magic Flute — his final opera — just two months before his death. In a London laboratory on September 28, 1928, Alexander Fleming returned from holiday to discover a mould killing bacteria in his petri dish, and the antibiotic era was born.

Across the Atlantic, October 1, 1903 saw the very first modern World Series played in Boston. President Roosevelt dedicated the Hoover Dam on September 30, 1935, a Depression-era feat of engineering that still powers the American Southwest. On October 1, 1949, Mao Zedong proclaimed the founding of the People's Republic of China from Tiananmen Square. And on October 4, 1957, Sputnik 1 beeped its way into orbit, shocking the world and igniting the Space Race. Finally, on September 29, 1954, twelve nations signed the convention founding CERN — the laboratory that would one day confirm the Higgs boson.

Eight events. Thousands of years. One extraordinary week.
