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.

The time domain is circa ~ Babylonians leading the Hebrews to study and learning beyond herding goats.
Why are you stuck on this inconsequential claim of yours? Are you trying to discredit certain claims or events?
Yup. Judaism rose after 1000 BCE and not before. Facts based on objective evidence clearly shows that the religious practice of the Hebrews was borrowed from other cultures. I have yet to show the Egyptian connection in approximate time frames either.
What's the objective evidence?
The absence of any objective evidence for the collectivist nation called "Hebrews" prior to 1000BCE. I have said this before, that I give great latitude about the time frame and as an opinion, the Hebrews were not existent prior to their capabilities to actually write, irrespective of medium prior to the Babylonians giving them a sense of culture beyond goat herding. Even then the Babylonians kicked them out as ignorant students.

From what or whom are your sources of your "historical" context? I'd like to examine them as well.
Yet Moses was raised as a prince of Egypt. This is the very simple alphabet the early Hebrews dealt with and would be known prior to their bondage in Egypt as they sojourned in Canaanite lands. Which is a Phoenician variant: Paleo Hebrew Alphabet
