The Seal of Isaiah is an eighth-century BC clay seal found in Israel and believed by some archaeologists to name the biblical prophet Isaiah.

Whatever the case may be, Professor Tom Meyer of Shasta Bible College and Graduate School in California, US, believes there is archaeological evidence to at the very least prove the prophet did exist.

Professor Meyer told Express.co.uk: "Archaeological evidence has come to light proving the existence of the author of the most controversial chapter in the Old Testament, Isaiah 53.

"In 2018 excavations in the Ophel - the raised area between the City of the David and the Temple Mount - produced a fragmented clay bulla or round seal dating to the eighth or seventh century BC inscribed with the name of the owner, Isaiah the Prophet.".

If an inscription on the seal does indeed mention the Hebrew prophet, then it is the first extrabiblical source confirming his existence.

Professor Meyer said: "On the top of Isaiah’s seal is what appears to be a doe or some other four-legged animal; underneath there are two incomplete Hebrew words.

"No other sequence of letters makes any grammatical or historical sense; this is the personal seal of the famous Isaiah the Prophet."

The seal contains the words "Yesha‘yah" or Isaiah in Hebrew

Professor Meyer, however, is certain the seal does validate the Bible's narrative
