The Nag Hammadi Library, a collection of thirteen ancient books (called "codices") containing over fifty texts, was discovered in upper Egypt in 1945. This immensely important discovery includes a large number of primary "Gnostic Gospels" – texts once thought to have been entirely destroyed during the early Christian struggle to define "orthodoxy" – scriptures such as the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Philip, and the Gospel of Truth. The discovery and translation of the Nag Hammadi library, initially completed in the 1970's, has provided impetus to a major re-evaluation of early Christian history and the nature of Gnosticism.

Just think how much was lost when the Library of Alexandria burned.

"On each side of the Nile valley, vertical rocks climb with a deserted terrain at the top. The rocky region on the right bank marking the boundary of the Nile valley and the arable land between Heneboksion and Pabau is called Jebel al-Tarif. Back in prehistoric times a massive boulder fell from the rock, resembling a stalagmite in shape, which fell down on a scree. From the north side of one of the giant barrel-shaped boulders, a vessel with the Nag Hammadi library was hidden.
The rocks of Jabal al-Tarif from the Nile valley Until the excavations began, the caves carved into the base of Jabal al-Tarif were buried under the embankment of deluvium and cobblestones. Scree leading to the base of the rock. View of the rocks from below. The location of the Nag Hammadi manuscripts.

Hmmm..The only thing I see is a symbolic representation of the Philadelphia Experiment...The code name for that experiment was Rainbow.

Have you read much of it and what do you think of Gnostic Christian thinking?

I did read quite a bit.

This was a while ago, some of this stuff was hidden for a reason by certain parties that may have seen to be benefiting from such.

Thereby pushing an agenda that they profited from, but then thats how i see it.
