15,000 to 11,000 years ago Earth experienced a series of climatic fluctuations... there was a short cold spell, known as the Younger Dryas, before the final warming and... end of the last ice age. Based on Greenland ice core data, the Younger Dryas began... 10,900 B.C., and its ending... circa 9700 B.C. and may have occurred within an incredible three years... I once hypothesized that comets were responsible. A comet hitting the land or a shallow ocean, or exploding above the land's surface, scattering dust and debris into the atmosphere, would cause global cooling... This pattern fits well with the cooling at 10,900 B.C. and there is evidence of a cometary explosion over North America at this time... comets hitting deep oceans were responsible. A comet might break the thin oceanic crust, releasing heat from the hot magma beneath. Vaporized and displaced water would rain down on Earth, and tsunamis would wash across coastal areas, warming the planet... [But] Plasma hitting the surface of Earth could heat and fuse rock, incinerate flammable materials, melt ice caps, vaporize shallow bodies of water creating an extended deluge of rain, and send the climate into a warming spell. The release of pressure that follows the melting of thousands-of-meters-thick ice sheets can induce earthquakes and even cause hot rock under pressure to melt and erupt to the surface as volcanoes... The plasma event of 9700 B.C. eradicated advanced civilizations and high cultures of the time, and... could be the basis for the nearly universal myth of a Golden Age, a time when beings on Earth had mental abilities far surpassing those of later times. The 9700 B.C. event may be the original basis for the Atlantis legends; the timeframe fits well with Plato's account.

I probably should have pointed out that it’s from 2011. :^o
Because people were living in caves and they were on the other side, away from the plasma?
It reads, made in China.
Schoch cited examples of vitrified rocks from around the world, plus he mentioned melting ice caps, etc., so it sounds like the plasma was scorching the entire planet, under his theory. It seems like a big space rock could have done nearly all the things that Schoch attributes to plasma.
If you're interested, Randall Carlson has a ton of YouTube videos focused on events around the end of the last ice age, but his view is that an asteroid or comet touched things off.
My answer was supposition. This whole thing opens a new line that I had not really “explored.” I think I have somne fun winter reading ahead of me.
Robert M. Schoch: Research Highlights
Solar-Induced Dark Age (SIDA)
Rising From the Ashes of SIDA

Intelligent, but a doofus. Here's a quote from his webpage about his (I think, 2nd) wife:
Katie explained that just prior to the conference she had watched a NOVA documentary pertaining to the formation of stars, learning (according to the standard story – there are other theories that currently challenge it, such as those put forth by the Electric Universe community) that hydrogen molecules in space gather to form clouds and eventually, through gravitational forces, collapse into stars. The program also explained how virtually all the elements that are released from stars via ejecta (CMEs, the solar wind stream, etc.) can be found in us and in all life on Earth.
Katie thus wondered if hydrogen was the key, the missing piece of a grand and enormous cycle. Katie's theory speculates that, upon death, our hydrogen atoms (we are largely water and water is H2O) are released from us and, being light (hydrogen is the lightest element on the periodic table), they float up to space where they gather into clouds and, through time, form stars.
Three words.
Conservation of mass.
If the entire mass of Earth + atmosphere were hydrogen, there wouldn't be enough to create a single star.
Next issue.
Age of Earth vs. age of stars (cosmic events being light years away). Where'd the stars come from before there were people, indeed, before there was the Earth?
Third issue.
Distance. Light years vs. very non-relativistic speed of atmospheric gases.
This guy might have good insights on the Sphinx, or not, but he let his desire for women overtake his reason...
His previous partner started leading him down what I regard as a bad direction. He's a competent geologist, he's had interesting insights, but he isn't for example a competent astrologer, because, y'know, astrology is incompetence. He's also wandered off into Bauval's delusional system.
Given his Yale pedigree, and the looneybirds he's dated/married, I guess it's safe to assume he's a Biden voter?
I think he's held political office, or ran for some office local to his home.
An oldie topic, from the SIDA keyword; Schoch’s view is that those underground towns in Cappadocia (for example) have been reused, with long periods of abandonment in between, and that their origins could be 10s of 1000s of years ago.
