>The Curse of Timur or the Curse of Tamerlane (Russian: Пpoклятиe Taмepлaнa) is the rumor that the tomb of Timur is cursed such that whoever disturbs it will face a calamity. A popular version of the story of the curse holds that when Soviet anthropologists opened the tomb in June 1941, they found an inscription saying that whoever opened it would unleash an invader worse than him. The tomb was opened on June 20, 1941. On June 22, 1941, Hitler began the surprise invasion of the Soviet Union, leading many people to believe that it was caused by the curse. In addition, the Soviet victory in the Battle of Stalingrad has been credited to the curse being broken by Timur getting a reburial about one month before the victory in the battle. >In 1740 Nader Shah, who was fascinated by Timur, tried to take the sarcophagus, breaking it, and took a jade slab from the tomb. Soon afterwards his son became very ill and after continuing to face calamities he returned the stone per the suggestion of his advisors. His son eventually recovered from the illness.

I miss the Steppe Nomads, they kept civilized people on their toes so they didn't have time to indulge in this kind of nonsense.
We need Tamerlane to come back and start stacking skulls again.

Timur Lqne, who had conquered and ransacked India centuries ago, was so disgusted by jeets to the point that he built his empire AROUND India.
He even wrote an essay about how much he was disgusted by them.
