Apocalypse Believers Flock to Pyramid Shaped Mountain Peak

Apocalypse Believers Flock to Pyramid Shaped Mountain Peak

By DRAGANA JOVANOVIC
BELGRADE Dec. 13, 2012

Like a scene from the movie "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," hundreds of people are being drawn to a uniquely formed mountain peak in the Carpathian Mountains hoping that its magnetic force will save them from a coming apocalypse.

The pyramid shaped peak, the legend goes, was created by aliens many thousands of years ago.

"We all know that aliens have been there for thousands of years," says Vladimir Petrovic, the editor of a Belgrade-based publishing company specializing in esoteric literature. "They may be the forces who will help us get through this time."

The end of the world, according to the Mayan calendar, is scheduled for eight days from now on Dec. 21.

I worked with mashed potatoes for a week, then mud for 10 days. I was getting closer, but this news saves me a few steps. The Carpathians, you say...

You know, wider at the base, smaller on top? Granted, due to erosion and how they were formed, most actually resemble cones, but close enough for some people.

Also, the Mayans didn't predict the end of the world, only marking the end of one of their long count calendars, I hate lazy reporting.
