"The new finds are also forcing a reexamination of old Chinese books that describe historical or legendary figures of great height, with deep-set blue or green eyes, long noses, full beards, and red or blond hair."

Chinese historic records even describe some Chinese rulers as having "purple hair" and "green beards" (hehe like Japanese anime today), how would you try to justify that? It's exciting to think that we Caucasians brought civilization to China, but from the sheer differences in writing, language and basic world views (such as the cyclical Chinese world view), it's unlikely these supposed Caucasians (if they even existed in China) made much if any impact on Chinese civilization.

Ancient Europeans Remains Found In Qinghai (China)

"Ren said the tomb shape, the burial articles and the way they were put in the tomb are all typical in Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220), which proved the three westerners had lived here for a long time and were accustomed to local traditions and customs."

"Although so far, we have been not sure of the country the three Europeans came from and there might be a large number of such 'westerners' living here at the ancient time," said Ren."
