" I urge the world to stop coming to Bugarach, " AFP quoted Mr. Jean-Pierre Delord, the elder of Bugarach. He also said that starting yesterday, police will block access to the village of southwestern France, where 200 residents live.

All roads will be blocked to Mount Pic de Bugarach, where speculation is that the mountain will open on the " last day ", ie December 21, and aliens will appear with the spaceship to Save the people living nearby.

About 150 police will perform the task, to " chase " guests from Bugarach. In recent weeks, this place witnessed a large number of reporters and journalists from all over the world.

Pic de Bugarach, the highest mountain in the Corbieres range, has long been famous because the samples taken from the mountain peaks are older than the ones below. Scientists believe that the cause of the strange is when the volcano 1,230 m high erupts, its peak is overturned.

Some believe that the world will perish on December 21, 2012, according to the deduction from an ancient Mayan calendar, and they see the Bugarach as one of the holy mountains, a refuge. safe from perdition.

Scientists were skeptical about this view and said that December 21 was simply the last day in the Mayan calendar, opening a new calendar.

The Central American region, where the Mayans once lived, is also enjoying a great season of tourism before December 21. Visitors are involved in religious rituals at the sacred Mayan sites in Central America and Mexico. This is also an opportunity to honor Maya civilization's contributions to humanity, but ethnic groups accuse governments and businesses of making money by fictioning their culture in Hollywood style.
