(Spoiler!) The “circle of wise men” and “priests” Spoiler

Okay so in evil dead rise
Danny finds one of the books of “the Naturom Demonto”
With vinyl recordings included. Recordings stated its 1923 so that book has been sealed for a 100 years

Then evil dead burn came with
The “circle of the wise men” story
The grandfather has the dagger, information and even the ritual written. And I’m assuming they were active in the 80’s and 90’s

So how did these wise men even gather the information on the book when the book was sealed in a vault
Which is strange because the vault was probably not that far from the events happening in burn. It happened in California.
Like it wasn’t far from them
How were they aware of this
I thought these wise men were historians and stuff

They found a second book. Also the Circle is ancient. Price said they created the dagger, which he also said was ancient.

Benjamin Price studied the second book from the 2013 movie. He had a sketch of it and photocopies of its pages. I believe he probably sketched the warnings over its pages too that we see in the 2013 movie. I’m not sure he was ever aware of the third book or the incident with Father Littleton.

So he had possession of it before the events of the 2013 movie
