Re: Amazing story about Timur
I also heard that story. It was quite interesting, far more so than the so called Tut's Curse, which had only to do with Lord Kanargen (sp)'s weakness and exposure to toxic molds.

A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?
Re: Amazing story about Timur
Didn't he say something more like he will haunt them/bring death and destruction? Wodring not important, but Russia was pretty well beaten down...

Re: Amazing story about Timur
Yes, there's many different sources that have him saying different things. Once says "If you open my tomb, a fate worse than myself will fall upon you". The message seems pretty clear though, despite the change in wording as you said.
Even if it was mere coincidence that hitler attacked a few months after it was opened, it's very interesting to consider in the least. Especially when you take into account how many soviets would die in the war.
Re: Amazing story about Timur
I will have to say something like that about deists when I die.....
That was the wording I heard from the History Channel, thanks Monk!

Re: Amazing story about Timur
Soviets are taking a part in WWII already from september of 1939 (assault on Poland, occupation of Baltic states and Besarabia, assault on Finland) and the tomb is only opened in 1941.:)))
Re: Amazing story about Timur
We are talking about "Barbarosa" here , you know , the invasion to the USSR not from it !

Re: Amazing story about Timur
caeser44,
WWII started on 1th september 1939 and all plans "Gelb", "Barbarossa" etc. are just acts of war that is already going. Soviets are in this war from same September 1939.
Re: Amazing story about Timur
Actually Britain, France etc. didn't declare war until the 3rd of September. The 1st was Hitler's invasion of Poland.
