"It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon, for the sun stopped shining." (Luke 23:44–45, CJB) Besides the Chinese recorded it any other nation recorded this event
Yes, several early Roman and Greek historians reportedly recorded an unusual darkness during the reign of Tiberius Caesar that corresponds to the biblical timeline. Because their original volumes are lost to time, their accounts survive as fragments quoted by later chroniclers:
Thallus (c. 52 AD): A Samaritan-born historian who wrote a history of the Eastern Mediterranean. His work is cited by the 3rd-century Christian chronographer Julius Africanus. Africanus notes: “On the whole world there pressed a most fearful darkness; and the rocks were rent by an earthquake... This darkness Thallus, in the third book of his History, calls, as appears to me without reason, an eclipse of the sun.” Africanus argued against Thallus, pointing out that a natural solar eclipse is impossible during Passover, which occurs during a full moon.
Phlegon of Tralles (c. 137 AD): A Greek chronicler who wrote an extensive historical timeline called the Olympiads. His text is referenced by Origen and Julius Africanus. Phlegon recorded that during the 4th year of the 202nd Olympiad (around 32–33 AD), “there was the largest and most famous eclipse that had ever occurred. The day was so turned into night at the sixth hour (noon), that the stars were seen in the heavens,” alongside a massive earthquake in Bithynia.
Tertullian (c. 197 AD): In his Apologeticus, the early writer Tertullian challenged his Roman audience by claiming that the supernatural darkness was an undeniable historical reality, asserting that the documentation of the global omen was still preserved in official Roman archives at the time ("You yourselves have the account of the world-portent still in your archives.").
Modern secular historians and physicists note that because a solar eclipse cannot happen during a full moon (Passover) and cannot last for three hours, these ancient writers were either observing an entirely separate natural eclipse or struggling to provide a naturalistic explanation (an eclipse) for a regional or supernatural phenomenon they couldn't otherwise account for.
