According to an article in the Dailystar thousands have made a pilgrimage to a farmhouse in rural Cambodia to wait out the end of days after a politician warned that the only place to survive an impending world-destroying flood would be his home.

This comes after politician-turned-cult leader Khem Veasna took to his Facebook page to share a series of apocalyptic predictions, spurred on by the apparent musings of a "black hole" that he said was growing on his spine.

"I can’t sleep because whenever I sleep, my spinal cord is pulling so hard, because the world is breaking down, and the water is flowing into the gap," he said.

He added that the black hole had sent him messages that a flood of biblical proportions was set to eradicate the entire planet and urged his devoted fans to join him on his farm, the only place on the planet set to survive the washout, Vice World News reported.

People from across the country answered the call - authorities believe between 15000 and 20000 people congregated at Veasna's farmhouse in a sleepy part of Cambodia’s Siem Reap province, with some travelling from as far as South Korea to avoid meeting an apocalyptic end.
