"The Danube Valley Civilization has brought much light into the history of humanity. It is historically very distant and perhaps only perceptible as a dim glow – but it is still a light. A light that westerners should be aware of when working on future models for the European Union, when cherishing the basic values of Western civilization or when discussing trends of globalisation."
