I heard several times from numerous sources, that there were times in history (during the 1st and the 2nd Temples) when the Torah (incl. Oral) was almost completely lost and just one Rabbi (or a handful of Rabbis) saved it all.
Who are they and what sources speak of such examples?

שנים עשר אלף זוגים תלמידים היו לו לרבי עקיבא מגבת עד אנטיפרס וכולן מתו בפרק אחד מפני שלא נהגו כבוד זה לזה
(Sefaria translation)
Rabbi Akiva had twelve thousand pairs of students in an area of land
that stretched from Gevat to Antipatris in Judea, and they all died in
one period of time, because they did not treat each other with
respect.
והיה העולם שמם עד שבא ר"ע אצל רבותינו שבדרום ושנאה להם ר"מ ור' יהודה ור' יוסי ורבי שמעון ורבי אלעזר בן שמוע והם הם העמידו תורה אותה שעה
And the world was desolate [of Torah] until Rabbi Akiva came to our
Rabbis in the South and taught his Torah to them. This second group of
disciples consisted of Rabbi Meir, Rabbi Yehuda, Rabbi Yosei, Rabbi
Shimon, and Rabbi Elazar ben Shamua. And these are the very ones who
upheld the study of Torah at that time.

One case is in Temura 16a (translations from Sefaria), where Joshua forgot 3000 laws (other numbers are mentioned too), and Othniel the son of Kenaz restored them:
אמר רב יהודה אמר שמואל שלשת אלפים הלכות נשתכחו בימי אבלו של משה
...
אמר רבי אבהו אעפ"כ החזירן עתניאל בן קנז מתוך פלפולו
Three thousand halakhot were forgotten during the days of mourning for Moses.
Rabbi Abbahu says: Even so, Othniel, son of Kenaz, restored them through his sharp mind.
Another case is mentioned in Kiddushin 66a, after King Yannay killed all of the sages:
מיד ותוצץ הרעה על ידי אלעזר בן פועירה ויהרגו כל חכמי ישראל והיה העולם משתומם עד שבא שמעון בן שטח והחזיר את התורה ליושנה
Immediately, the evil arose and caught fire through Elazar ben Po’ira, and all the Sages of the Jewish people were killed. And the world was desolate of Torah until Shimon ben Shataḥ came and restored the Torah to its former glory.
