That's an awesome story indeed! For me, it was the Nag Hammadi library discovery, which recovered certain texts from the earliest days of Christianity and Gnosticism that has brought me into this subject. Those writings, including "The Gospel of Thomas" and "The Gospel of Truth" (great reads btw) were purged as herethical years ago. The original greek copies cannot be found. But thanks to the foresight of some Egyptian scribes to preserve this history, we have amazing copies that were translated into Coptic. Coptic is unfortunately no longer widely spoken outside the Coptic church, and due to the lack of knowledge on it and having only that one copy, it took a very long time for good English translations of these works to become available. Still, the historical value of those texts is unbelievable so it has really made me wonder what else is out there waiting to be found and translated? And how hard will it to be translated when they're found? Totally agree with what you're saying. Wish we had a single digitized source for these sorts of things.
