Summary/Abstract: The following article is about the cultural influence of the first European civilization, formed on the Balkans, over the foundation of the Chinese civilization. Paying attention starting from the artifacts of the Vincha culture in Serbia in the beginning of the 20th century and ending with the latest discoveries here in Bulgaria – in Karanovo, Samovodene, Hotnitsa, Slatina, Ovcharovo, Gradeshnitsa, Kapitan Dimitrievo, Kapitan Andreevo, Mursalevo, Provadia and many others, we can clearly discover certain influences that spread from Black Sea, after the Flood, to Europe, Asia and even North Africa. These studies are still at their beginning, but they already give the promise of discoveries so significant that they might even change the whole understanding of the historical processes, that have shaped the world civilization.
