Episode 14: The Curse of Timur's Tomb

Curse or Coincidence?

Feb 21 2023 • 47 mins

This week, Aimee and Nathan talk about a warlord and nobleman who controlled a vast swath of Asia during the 14th century. Timur (aka Tamerlane) was renowned as a military tactician whose warfare killed some 17 million people. Fast forward 400 years, when Joseph Stalin commissioned a team to exhume Timur’s body and bring it back to the Soviet Union. Just two days after the opening of the Timur’s tomb, Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union. Coincidence? Some say the exhumation set in motion a prophecy that would change the course of history. Join us as we discuss Boomer Facebook etiquette, Disney’s story inspo and try to figure out whether Timur’s Tomb was really cursed, or if it was just a coincidence. FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM!
