The Alps, an ancient mountain range, had now become the focus of the world's attention. The peaks floated high in the heavens, shrouded in divine light, like the dwelling place of divine spirits. Media outlets raced to report on it, and people everywhere debated the spectacle.
They said people never minded a little more excitement. Whenever something like this happened, there were always a few bored skeptics who went to see it for themselves.
