Archaeology Snapshot is a discussion on the location, timeline, main characters and highlights from history and archaeology, for each Sefer in Tanach.
Sefer Yeshayahu is a contemporary of Hoshea, Nahum and Micha, and operated during the reign of four kings of Judah: Uzziya, Yotam, Ahaz and Hezekiah. According to Chazal, he was killed by Menashe.
This episode focuses primarily on the first part of the book, which deals with the geopolitical and internal events during the reign of these fours kings, and the Rise of the Assyrian Empire. It also includes addresses to many nations, and prophecies of their pending doom by the hands of Assyria and more.
