Access to sacred mountain refuge from Mayan Apocalypse blocked by authorities
The Examiner ^ | November 29, 2012 | Nannette Richford

Pic de Bugarach, a small mountain in southwest France, is rumored to be the only spot on earth that will be saved from the Mayan Apocalypse predicted for Dec. 21, 2012, says a Latinos Post report dated Nov 27. According to doomsday theorists, the mountain will open up and reveal an alien spaceship ready to whisk humans away to safety. That is, if humans can access the mountain.

French officials have banned access to the mountain to New Age enthusiasts, sightseers and journalists, says Daily Mail in a Nov. 19 report. Access to the small village with the same name is also being blocked in an attempt to avert disaster.

According to Jean-Pierre Delord, mayor of the village of Bugarach, he is not concerned about the doomsday prophecies.

"This is the 183rd end-of-the-world prophecy since antiquity. But I can't take the risk of a lot of people coming here, trying to climb the mountain and getting hurt." He told the Guardian.

Whether Pic de Bugarach will offer refuse for those seeking to escape the Mayan Apocalypse seems unlikely, particularly in light of the fact that rumors that Mayan's predicted the end of the world by ending their calendar on Dec. 21, 2012 appears to stem from a misunderstanding.

Those looking for refuge from the predicted Mayan Apocalypse should make alternate plans, as access to the alien ship at Pic de Bugarach will be closed on Dec. 21, 2012.

In other news, the French government will retreat from Vichy to Pic de Bugarach in mid-December.

Follow me. I've seen Close Encounters of the Third Kind". There's always a secret hidden path up the hill. I'll be on that spaceship for sure.

What makes it even worse is that they don’t know the difference between “alternate” and “alternative”.

People actually believe an alien spaceship is going to save them from the Mayan end of the world? Man, these people are stupid. There’s no such thing as aliens.

Jean-Pierre will have the blood of all humanity on his hands......I hope he's happy with that.

It's been known to happen. Sometimes the ship even does it all by itself.

In that case, they are coming for the dolphins.

No they didn't - their calendar is a cycling calendar - it just starts over. That is why it is depicted as a circle - when it "runs out", you start it again.
