>As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a Khan. To me, being a Khan was better than being Emperor of China. Even before I first wandered into Samarkand with a Mongol army, I knew I wanted to be a part of them. It was there that I knew that I belonged. To me, it meant being Persian in an empire that was full of Arabs. They weren't like anybody else. I mean, they did whatever they wanted. They invaded and looted entire villages and no one ever raised a sword. In the summer when they raped the female populaces all night, nobody ever called the Mamluks.

The Abbasid Caliphate's most prestigious people were Persians.
They filled the sciences, government, philosophy, economy, etc.

>It is alleged that Timur's tomb was inscribed with the words, "When I rise from the dead, the world shall tremble." It is also said that when Gerasimov exhumed the body, an additional inscription inside the casket was found, which read, "Who ever opens my tomb, shall unleash an invader more terrible than I." In any case, the same day Gerasimov began the exhumation, Adolf Hitler launched Operation Barbarossa, the largest military invasion of all time, upon the Soviet Union. Timur was re-buried with full Islamic ritual in November 1942 just before the Soviet victory at the Battle of Stalingrad
