Has Eilat Mazar Discovered Archaeological Evidence of Isaiah the Prophet?

The Old Testament record shows that King Hezekiah was a contemporary of Isaiah the prophet. The Biblical books of Kings, Chronicles, and Isaiah show that this prophet played a central role in Hezekiah’s remarkable reign over Judah.

Today we have indisputable scientific evidence proving the existence of King Hezekiah. But what about Hezekiah’s chief counselor, and one of the Bible’s greatest prophets? Is there archaeological evidence proving the existence of the prophet Isaiah?
