Thats right they are both the superpowers of the ancient times!It is East vs West! Which Empire has a more powerful military ? About scientific achievements,the Egyptian New Kingdom Dynasties definitely surpassed the Han's from inventing solar calendar, glass making and papyrus paper (well that was 4000 BC). Now which empire do you think was more powerful and prosperous?
In my opinion, it should be Egyptian Dynasty. One of the greatest leaders of the time was Tuthmosis III (a great pharoh of the 18th Dynasty). Through the rest of his reign, Tuthmosis III engaged seventeen campaigns and won every one of them. Because of his undefeated record, Tuthmosis III is often referred to as The Napoleon of Egypt. Some of his biggest victories came against the Mitannian empire. He captured and gained control of many Mitannian territories, which expanded his power over Syria, northern Palestine and Phoenicia.
They defeated the Hittites which were extremely powerful, highly mobile, and had experienced success in mastering the heavy three man chariot. The Hittites (located in modern day turkey-whatever it is so hard to spell) posed a powerful threat to the Egyptian people and challenged their combat forces, but they were no match to the strategic power of the the Ramesses pharohs. Ramses II's army consisted of 4 divisions, Amun, Re, Ptah and Set and smashed the Hittite army led by Muwatallish. Don't forgot that Egyptian chariots were the most powerful at that time using light mobile chariots, tightly packed spearmen backed by numerous bowmen.
I am not doing a fair comparison here, since the Egyptian New Dynasty period was about a millenium before the Han. But by then they had already constructed the Great Pyramids.
