Timur the Lame's Curse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was watching Barbarians on History Channel last night, they said something that was very interesting. They were talking about Timur the Lame's history and they said that there was a curse on his burial ground.

It goes something like this, If someone should distrub his grave, a far worse fate than him can descend upon them.

They also said that the grave was open by Russian archeologists on the day before Hitler invaded Russia. So I guess the curse was true for some 20 million Russians who died because of the war.

Looks like no one is interested to talk about it.

I've never heard of Timur the lame. Where was he from? When did he live?
