Any number of events in my life if I could kick my ass to change course.
Birth of the moon from this vantage point:
The beasts of modernism have mutated into the beasts of postmodernism—relativism into nihilism, amorality into immorality, irrationality into insanity, sexual deviancy into polymorphous perversity. And since then, generations of intelligent students under the guidance of their enlightened professors have looked into the abyss, have contemplated those beasts, and have said, “How interesting, how exciting.”

An honorable 6th event (place and time) would be to have the language skills and time to visit the Ancient/Royal Library of Alexandria. I think the fire that destroyed it might have been the single greatest setback for human knowledge to date.

The Last Supper, well perhaps that whole last day of Christs life.
The Fall of Rome, I want the whole enchilada, and I want to see everything go down from all sides.
The Travel West with Lewis and Clark.
The D-Day Landing, to actually run off of a landing craft and run up the beach.
I would like to play a game of baseball with my Grandfather in some sort of "Field of Dreams" thing where we were the same age.

In no particular order:
The building of the pyramids, like someone else suggested, maybe a time lapse kind of thing to see the whole construction.
A day in ancient Rome, to walk among the structures and to see the fights at the Coliseum.
The landings at Normandy on D Day, particularly Pont-du-Hoc.
Not to necessarily witness the crimes, but to find out who Jack the Ripper really was.
Gettysburg.

Ability to see a "live" Mars, with water, while being on Mars(does that count? Not human history, but For sure history)

I guess I must be a history fan then. It would be fair to assume that you could understand the language being spoken in the event you are witnessing.
