法國小城被傳2012世界末日避難所 引來大量游人

法國小城被傳2012世界末日避難所 引來大量游人2010年12月23日08:16

  環球時報記者朱盈庫12月22日報道,據法新社和英國《每日電訊報》21日消息,法國一座小城被傳將是2012年“地球末日”來臨時唯一能夠幸存的地點,這一說法吸引了成千上萬的游人,幾乎將當地擠爆。

  位於比利牛斯山腳下的法國西南部小城比加拉什人口隻有189人,但卻是個風景如畫的安靜小山村。最近幾個月,這裡的平靜生活忽然被打亂,絡繹不絕的游人突然頻頻造訪。當地官員調查后驚異地發現,原來外界竟盛傳一個謠言:2012年“世界末日”來臨時,這裡將成為唯一可能的幸存之處,外星人將守候在比利牛斯山,屆時還可能帶走幾名幸運的人類,使他們免於死亡。

  比加拉什市長讓皮埃爾·迪洛德透露,前來拜訪的游人都深信,2012年12月12日或者2012年12月21日將是世界末日,人類文明將終結,而位於“神聖的比利牛斯山”下的比加拉什就成為避難地。“這絕不是開玩笑,如果明天一萬人忽然涌到這裡,我們肯定無法應對。我已經向地方政府表達了我們的擔憂,並希望到2012年12月時,能派軍隊保護這裡。”

  據悉,對比加拉什的狂熱源於大導演史蒂芬·斯皮爾伯格1977年的電影《第三類接觸》,片中提及了比利牛斯山。但事實上,影片中的山是在美國懷俄明州的魔鬼峰拍攝的。自那以后,時常會有游人來到比加拉什尋訪外星人。2009年,隨著電影《2012》大熱,“世界末日”再成焦點話題,使比加拉什成為更多人關注的地方。

法國鄉村將'在2012世界末日倖存'擠滿訪客
French village which will 'survive 2012 Armageddon' plagued by visitors

Thursday 23 December 2010
The mayor of a picturesque French village has threatened to call in the army to seal it off from a tide of New Age fanatics and UFO watchers, who are convinced it is the only place on Earth to be spared Armageddon in 2012.

Bugarach, population 189, is a peaceful farming village in the Aude region, southwestern France and sits at the foot of the Pic de Bugarach, the highest mountain in the Corbières wine-growing area.

But in the past few months, the quiet village has been inundated by groups of esoteric outsiders who believe the peak is an "alien garage".

According to them, extraterrestrials are quietly waiting in a massive cavity beneath the rock for the world to end, at which point they will leave, taking, it is hoped, a lucky few humans with them.

Most believe Armageddon will take place on December 21, 2012, the end date of the ancient Maya calendar, at which point they predict human civilisation will come to an end. Another favourite date mentioned is 12, December, 2012. They see Bugarach as one of perhaps several "sacred mountains" sheltered from the cataclysm.

"This is no laughing matter," Jean-Pierre Delord, the mayor, told The Daily Telegraph.

"If tomorrow 10,000 people turn up, as a village of 200 people we will not be able to cope. I have informed the regional authorities of our concerns and want the army to be at hand if necessary come December 2012."

Mr Delord said people had been coming to the village for the past 10 years or so in search of alien life following a post in an UFO review by a local man, who has since died. "He claimed he had seen aliens and heard the humming of their spacecraft under the mountain," he said.

The internet abounds with tales of the late President François Mitterrand being curiously heliported on to the peak, of mysterious digs conducted by the Nazis and later Mossad, the Israeli secret services.

A visit to Bugarach is said to have inspired Steven Spielberg in his film, Close Encounters of the Third Kind – although the actual mountain he used is Devil's Tower in Wyoming. It is also where Jules Verne found the entrance and the inspiration for A Journey to the Centre of the Earth.

Recently, however, interest in the site had skyrocketed, said the mayor, with online UFO websites, many in the US, advising people to seek shelter in Bugarach as the countdown to Armageddon commences.

"Many come and pray on the mountainside. I've even seen one man doing some ritual totally nude up there," said Mr Delord.

Sigrid Benard, who runs the Maison de la Nature guesthouse, said UFO tourists were taking over. "At first, my clientele was 72 per cent ramblers. Today, I have 68 per cent 'esoteric visitors'," he said.

Several "Ufologists" have bought up properties in the small hamlet of Le Linas, in the mountain's shadow for "extortionate" prices, and locals have complained they are being priced out of the market. Strange sect-like courses are held for up to €800 a week. "For this price, you are introduced to a guru, made to go on a procession, offered a christening and other rubbish, all payable in cash," said Mr Delord.

Valerie Austin, a retired Briton from Newcastle who settled in Bugarach 22 years ago who said the alien watchers were spoiling the village atmosphere.

"You can't go for a peaceful walk anymore. It's a beautiful area, but now you find people chanting lying around meditating. Everybody has the right to their own beliefs, but the place no longer feels like ours." She said alien watchers planted strange objects on the mountainside.

Recently she found a black virgin statuette cemented to the rock face.

Although she described the alien claims as "total rubbish", she said there was nevertheless something special about the place.

"It has a magnetic force in the scientific sense of the word. There is a special feeling here, but if I really believed the world were about to end, I'd have a whale of a time over the next two years" rather than look for salvation, she said.
