Troll, Both Egyptian and Chinese history goes back about 8000 years.
I thought that the earliest known historical documents from Egypt were the Early Dynastic palettes, such as the famous Narmer palette, which shows the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt and which dates back to 3200BC. (There are some examples of Egyptian writing that are perhaps a few centuries older, but so far as I know none that shed any light on history.)
The earliest Chinese writing that I know about are "oracle bones" from the late Shang period in the second millennium BC.
