The Egyptian chronology is based on a dynasties/pharaohs list written by a priest called Maneton at the end of the Egyptian period (Ptolemaic dynasties, but I don't remember when). As a record of ancient times, the chance to find "gaps" in this list increases as we move to the oldest periods recorded on it, that is the first dynasties. Dates and names offered there are a frame on which the Egyptian chronology was built. If we add to this point the proudness of certain archaeologists in asserting that "his/her" excavation belonged to an ancient period (oldest period in human records=more importance to the excavation) we can find ourselves in a certain degree of "doubt" about it.

Noah is not part of recorded history at all. Recorded history goes back to the third millennium B.C.E., and the records of the flood are already mythical in nature then.
The Biblical and apocryphal stories about Noah have all been written down thousands of years after the event, if such an event actually happened at all. You can hardly call that recorded history.

I believe that the Sumerian cuneiform writings from circa 3,000 B.C.E. are the earliest "historical" writings. They are almost exclusively concerned with religious themes or administrative concerns of the royalty. I am not certain if the Gilgamesh epic originated with these folk. (That's the prototype "flood" story or myth.) Noah was not exactly "historical" but the biblical texts began as oral tribal history and it is believed that some of the Bible may reflect actual events filtered through "folk memory" in which the events of predecessor peoples are conflated with the actual events concerning the tribe or ethnic group.

According to Archbishop Ussher of the 17th century, in his Wall Chart of History, Shem was born 100 years before the flood and lived for 500 years afterwards, and Cush's son Nimrod (Ham's grandson) was born 50 years after the flood. The Bible does not tell how long Nimrod lived. Abraham was born 350 years after the flood, and by his time, most people only lived to 120. Thus both Shem and Nimrod could have interacted with Abraham, as several stories (Book of Jasher, Pseudo-Philo, and "The Legends of the Jews") indicate in Dudley Cates' "The Rise and Fall of King Nimrod".
