Do these archaeological artifacts that pop up almost daily, do they point to the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon? If so how so?

New artifacts appear continuously.

There significance may be immediate as in this case. In other cases, they may remain obscure until more information becomes available or may remain forever obscure simply because no one is curious or even cares.

So far as the Anthon Transcript goes, there have been attempts at translating them but so far no complete successes. I have found some meaning in only a few places thereof but know that I have a long way to go before producing a complete translation. I have recently identified another three characters and found them to be a preposition followed by the beginning of another word which I have not identified as of yet (I only have the first character of that following word, which character is the demotic symbol for a penis, and which is found in a few words as a syllabic character, as an ideograph, and in others as a determinative).

Work continues in my spare time but I have to admit that there is not enough on the Transcript to aid in deciphering it. I wish it had been like the Rosetta Stone but it is not. We are still missing much of the transcript and we are completely missing the lines of English text that were originally with it. What has happened to this text is unknown at the present time.

I thought the Anthon Transcript was discovered by Mark Hoffman. Is that true? If so, would that make it suspect, or is it believed to be genuine?

The one I am talking about is not the Hoffman forgery.
