Is it true that there is some Greek literature that speaks of a sudden and large depopulation in the Egyptian army around the time the exodus is said to have happened apparently national geographic claims so but i cannot find a source.

The exodus never happened, as well it is about impossible to keep a decent census in those times.

thank you for the link the Greek text was supposed to be a piece of literature that basically says that the Egyptians were vulnerable and easy to target because a large amount of their army had just vanished without any knowing where and no war was recorded either it was also supposed to have happened around the same time they date the exodus.
Is that a question?
@Spudnik: You haven't provided any source for the "Greek literature", so I can't comment on that directly. However, Egypt was in conflict with forces known as the "Sea Peoples" for about 50 years around 1200 BC, so maybe that's what the Greeks were talking about. Attacks by the people, whose origin remains unknown, appear to have had a major impact on the Egyptian economy and armed forces.

Spud: If it is true why can you not find a source? What is the basis of your question?
on a site it was mentioned that national geographic would not get involved in the red sea exploration to look for the chariots that Wyatt claims he found the reasons for that is the artefacts would be buried under a large layer of silt so no swimming around looking for wheels on the bed floor would be productive but then randomly mentioned this bit of info at then end about the Greeks but left no source or any thing so was just wondering if any of you guys new any thing about it but no worries if not thanks
@ spudnik
on a site it was mentioned
what site? Website? Building site? please be specific...dfid you email Nat Geo and ask? If the supposed wheels were going to be buried under a large layer of silt Have you any idea how deep that would be? How did Ron Wyatt find them if they were buried so deep under silt?
For fucks sake if you want my help in research actually supply information not " I heard my friend who may have heard from his cousin that something happened sometime last year" ..really, Is that how you live your life? On hearsay and rumour?
Either be specific as you can or stop posting this fucking awful drivel.
I agree with Old man shouts ....
Spudnik, you must provide more than very vague references to unknown sources.
"really, Is that how you live your life? On hearsay and rumour?"
I'm stunned you had to ask? of course that is how spudnik lived his life, that is axiomatic.
"Either be specific as you can or stop posting this fucking awful drivel."
I share your pain, but the really sad thing is that he probably is straining every intellectual sinew here. It's like kicking a puppy after a while, but obviously it's a none too bright, and particularly naughty puppy, that keeps soiling it's own bedding right in front of me. It's as if it's daring me to wack it with a rolled up newspaper.
TRY THIS:
"Ipuwer has often been put forward in popular literature as confirmation of the Biblical account, most notably because of its statement that "the river is blood" and its frequent references to servants running away, but there are also points in which the Ipuwer contradicts the Exodus story as found in the Bible, such as the fact that its Asiatics are arriving in Egypt rather than leaving. The "river is blood" phrase may also refer to the red sediment colouring the Nile during disastrous floods, or may simply be a poetic image of turmoil.[10] The archeological evidence does not support the story of the Exodus, and most historians no longer consider it relevant to the story of the emergence of Israel."
