Basalt surfaces at an undisclosed Andean site show melting evidence. Geologist Robert Schoch has theorized that cataclysmic events around 12,800 years ago — possibly caused by plasma bursts from the sun — may have affected ancient sites worldwide. Whether this damage corresponds to those events requires further verification.
