Timur’s Tomb and World War II
The “curse” Timur’s Tomb changed the course of the War two times, the first time when Stalin opened it, and the second when he returned the remains to the tomb.
Stalin ordered anthropologist and historian Mikhail Gerasimov to open the Timur’s Tomb in 1941. At the time, Gerasimov was a known and popular anthropologist famous for reconstructing a face from a skull. His job was to do that with Timur’s skull, and Mikhail succeeded. Soviets opened the Tomb on June 20, 1942. The tomb was immediately filed with odor of camphor, resin, rose and frankincense. Research showed that the odor was coming from the oils used for embalming. Two days after the Soviets opened the Tomb, Hitler and Nazis invaded Russia. The invasion came without formal declaration of War. The operation was known as “Operation Barbarossa”. It is worth noting that three elder men warned Gerasimov and the Soviets that the Tomb is cursed and something might happen. The men told the Soviets that the curse takes effect after 3 days. The Soviet Union suffered numerous defeats at the hand of Hitler. And even though the Nazi were far from conquering Russia, they made progress.
Then, after few months, Stalin started believing in the curse, and ordered that the remains of Timur be returned to the Tomb. Stalin ordered that the process is done with full Islamic burial rights. The Soviets returned the remains to the tomb in December 1942. Nearly a month later, the Nazi surrendered and Stalin won the Battle of Stalingrad. The battle remains as one of the bloodiest in the history of mankind, not just the World War II.

So then believing in Yeshua as the Son of G-d works.

Tamerlane was the name of the older brother of the two who did the Boston Bombing.
Speedbump is how most people know him.
I’m with you there.
There are definitely some stuff out there that should be left alone.
Nice post, thank you. Tamerlane is a euphemism for ‘Timur the lame.’ He had a handicap “earned early in life” resulting from doing something immoral. That makes sense as he was a muslim, imitating the “great” thief himself. Mahomet.
This sounded like nonsense. Then I took a look at Mikhail Gerasimov’s Wikipedia page. By golly, Wikipedia pretty much backs up your post.

Stalin and Hitler were the curses!
There were many similarities in their early lives.
So the year of planning and preparation by the Wehrmacht was coincidental. Anyway, twenty million dead later the “accursed” won.
I am reading a book now by Viktor Suvorov which claims that Hitler attacked Russia in June 1941 to disrupt an attack by Stalin on Germany that was set to take place in July 1941. I am not sure what to make of it but it is interesting.
I skimmed it but it seems they did not mention that Tamerlane was Muslim and his armies marched under the banner of Islam.
His tactics are adopted by ISIS today in terms of torture and modes of death he inflicted on cities he invaded.
Hard to believe considering the nervous breakdown Stalin suffered during the week after the German invasion. In spite of warnings from Churchill and his own intelligence services, Stalin and the Russians were completely unprepared for a couple million Germans massed on the border. Stalin was actually very intelligent and probably believed in his native Georgian Caucasus guile and refused to believe he could be fooled by a slobbering Austrian corporal. If so, he wasn’t the only one to fall prey to that assumption.
What saved Russia from being conquered during WWII was the brutal Russian winter.
Actually German invasion started on June 25 1941
Year in the myth is listed as 1942 - a year later
The reds definitely tore Hitler a new one at Stalingrad.
Operation Thunderstorm, the planned Soviet invasion of a weakened western Europe. Hitler learned about it 3 weeks in advance and struck first.
I thought Timberlane was the lead singer for N SYNC...
