Title:In find of biblical proportions, seal of Prophet Isaiah said found in Jerusalem
By AMANDA BORSCHEL-DAN 22 February 2018, 7:00 am
The hand of the Prophet Isaiah himself may have created an 8th century BCE seal impression discovered in First Temple remains near Jerusalem’s Temple Mount, according to Hebrew University archaeologist Dr. Eilat Mazar.
“We appear to have discovered a seal impression, which may have belonged to the prophet Isaiah, in a scientific, archaeological excavation,” said Mazar this week in a press release announcing the breathtaking discovery.
Mazar’s team uncovered the minuscule bulla, or seal impression, during renewed excavations at the Ophel, located at the foot of the southern wall of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. The discovery was published on Wednesday in an article, “Is This the Prophet Isaiah’s Signature?” as part of a massive March-June issue of the Biblical Archaeology Review dedicated to its recently retired founding editor, Hershel Shanks.
The clay impression is inscribed with letters and what appears to be a grazing doe, “a motif of blessing and protection found in Judah, particularly in Jerusalem,” according to the BAR article.
Poster Comment:
Of course like all discoveries this will be peer reviewed. However, this finding links Isaiah with the same Hezekiah of 2 Kings 18, Isaiah 36 and Isaiah 37.Subscribe to *Archeology and Digs*

Can't help but notice the Muzzie blight on this holy Jewish site.
Islam is trying to usurp every non-Islam site, place, church, and authority on the planet and claim ALL of it as well as "history" as theirs. It's disgusting.

Yes the Dome is quite prominent.
Getting these finds are quite difficult when there are religious and political fault lines within 10s of meters.

Yes. That Dome is akin to a dog "marking" its territory. It's what they do, isn't it?

It is...
Just imagine the finds located beneath the Devil's Dome.
(How do you excavate a site where an archaeological dig could start a war?)
It's insane.
There is already historical mega-proof that Jerusalem is historically 100% Jewish. Any subsequent archaeological proof is just icing on the cake.
Archaeology and history -- two of my favorite subjects. Especially when they as well as geology reinforce the truth about the planet's past

And regardless of what you find,it is going to piss off somebody somewhere.
