"Well, back when Uzbekistan was a Soviet Republic, the communists scoffed at such "silly" curses. Even though the locals respected this curse of Tamerlane, the communists went ahead and opened his tomb. The date---June 22, 1941. And a few hours after the tomb was opened word came that the Nazis has invaded Russia that very day."

Yup. I saw that on one of the TV documentaries titled The Barbarians, it covered all these guys.

Even more AMAZING is that since Uzbekistan is several time zones East of the Russian frontier with occupied Poland back then, the scientists entered the tomb in the late morning at EXACTLY the same moment that the Germans invaded Russia in the early AM.
