    Famously, a curse has been attached to opening Timur's tomb. In the year of Timur's death, a sign was carved in Timur's tomb warning that whoever would dare disturb the tomb would bring demons of war onto his land. Gerasimov's expedition opened the tomb on June 19, 1941. Operation Barbarossa, the invasion of the Soviet Union by Nazi Germany, began three days later on June 22, 1941. Shortly after Timur's skeleton and that of Ulugh Beg, his grandson, were reinterred with full Islamic burial rites in 1942, the Germans surrendered at Stalingrad.

    That would be the other way around, of course.

    It's one of the more wide-spread "in-jokes." You find references to it in a lot of places. Fallout 2 had an easter-egg Holy Handgrenade, for example.

    Didn't we have a thread about this long time ago, there was a medieval version of hand grenade apparently. We know that Chinese had it for centuries!
