Its close passage to Earth may trigger tremors and landslides on the asteroid. This may transform the asteroid itself in so far as material lost from the asteroid will be a potential threat. However, we should remember that it is estimated it will pass around 20,000 miles away. That is closer than some man made satellites out there but hardly something to be anxious about.

At https://www.livescience.com/archaeology/mind-blowing-discovery-reveals-5-000-year-old-cultic-building-in-israel … archaeologists have uncovered a 5000 year old settlement near Beit Shemesh – and a temple. It goes back to the early part of the Early Bronze Age – contemporary early Old Kingdom Egypt. Not far away from the temple there was another complex – composed of rows of large standing stones. Were they aligned to the sky? Later, the settlement was abandoned – with evidence of burning.
