The written records go back farther in Egypt than in China, although it is impossible to establish the precise dates for the first organized civilizations.

The oldest Chinese dynasty (Xia) may have existed as early as 2200 BC, but written records do not begin until the Shang dynasty, around 1300 BC but perhaps as early as 1700 BC. Egypt has hieroglyphics dated to around 3200 BC.
