French officials ban access to sacred mountain which believers claim will be refuge from 'Mayan apocalypse on December 21'

Rumours say the mountain will burst open on December 21 to reveal an alien spaceship which will save those nearby from the apocalypse.

French police will control access to the mountain and village to stop expected hordes of New Age fanatics, sightseers and journalists.

December 21 is the estimated end of the Mayan long calendar, which some believes marks the end of the world as we know it.


Fears the end of the Mayan calendar predicts the end of the world this coming December have run rife on the internet in recent years.

Less well known is the rumour that one particular mountain in south-west France will burst open on that day revealing an alien spaceship which will carry nearby humans to safety.

Well, if you were counting on that possibility to save you from the apocalypse, prepare to be disappointed. French officials have banned access to the Pic de Bugarach to avoid a rush of New Age fanatics, sightseers and, above all, journalists.
