Im looking for a word

[DevilSolution]

Okay im looking for a word that represents a beginning in time, but not the creation of time itself just a pivotal point in time whereby everything after it is relative to it, such moments can be defined in terms of the big bang, the death of christ, the renaissance and many more. It could be defined as a moment in time whereby everything after it will be seen or judged by it, i think the word starts with a "C" but im not 100% sure.

 

I dont think it necessarily has to be a HUGE part of time either, for example it could be used to describe the moment in time a good football player came to your club and your club became european champions because of it. So to me this isnt an important part of time because i dont watch football but to someone who follows football religiously it is the most important change in time to them.

 

thanks in advance
