One timeline. Every suppressed text — when it was written, when it was buried, and when it was struck back into the light. Read left to right: almost all of it vanished into the same long dark — and almost all of it came back within a single generation, from peoples who never met.
Line states — solid: the text alive and read · dim dashed: the dormant centuries, sealed · gold dotted: never actually lost (kept whole in Ethiopia) · unbroken bright: a living tradition that was never buried (Ginza Rba). Dates for composition are scholarly estimates; burial and rediscovery dates are from each text's record. The 1945–1947 column is the convergence: Nag Hammadi (1945) and the Dead Sea Scrolls (1947) returning almost at once.
