An ancient warlord named Timur/Tamerlane had inscriptions on his tomb that said: “When I rise from the dead, The world shall tremble.” Inside his casket was a note that said: “Whoever disturbs my tomb will unleash an invader more terrible than I.” Stalin ordered Soviet anthropologists to exhume Timur’s body on 19 June 1941. Three days later, Adolf Hitler launched Operation Barbarossa and began invading the Soviet Union. People call it “Tamerlane’s Curse”.
Many had linked the Nazi attack with the opening of the tomb of Tamerlane. The expedition was quickly winded up, and remains of Timur was sent to study in Moscow. Then just after Timur was re-buried with full Islamic rituals in November 1942, the Soviet won the Battle of Stalingrad.
