Were Ancient Chinese aware of Ancient Egypt? If yes, how did the two civilizations view each other?

by MIS-concept

I'm thinking from the earliest days up until the fall of Rome mainly. Very curious about this.

Thanks you

During the Latter Han 206BC-220 AD and the three kingdoms that followed till 282 AD, I'm unaware of any mention of Egypt in the histories. Japan, India, Parthia, Rome they were in contact with or aware of in some form but nothing about Egypt that I can think of, even in the sense of being vaguely aware of some distant land
