This week in history stretches from ancient Jerusalem to the Space Age, with stops in Lisbon, Liverpool, and a Missouri bakery along the way. In this episode, we cover eight significant historical events that all share the same calendar week across the centuries.

On July 8, 1497, Vasco da Gama sailed from Lisbon on the voyage that would open a direct sea route to India and transform global trade forever. Two years earlier in time but half a world away, the Roman general Titus breached Jerusalem's walls in 70 AD, leading to the destruction of the Second Temple — a moment that reshaped Jewish history for millennia.

In 1957, a single day — July 6 — delivered two seismic cultural moments: Althea Gibson became the first Black athlete to win a Wimbledon title, and a teenage John Lennon met Paul McCartney for the first time at a church fete in Liverpool. Three years later, on July 11, 1960, Harper Lee published To Kill a Mockingbird.

Telstar, launched July 10, 1962, gave the world its first live transatlantic television broadcast. Otto Rohweder's sliced bread machine went on sale in Chillicothe, Missouri, on July 7, 1928 — and changed breakfast forever. Argentina declared independence on July 9, 1816. And on July 8, 1944, a devastating fire at the Ringling Brothers circus in Hartford, Connecticut, turned a summer afternoon into tragedy.

Eight events. One week. Centuries of history.
