If you don't think it's for real, why not? It was discovered prior to 1800, and nobody could read it because they didn't know what language it was. Turns out, it's just a very ancient form of Hebrew.
I think this is pretty cool. What do you think?

J.C. Whitney, it is New Mexico. I remembered Arizona. No matter, 3,000 years ago neither name existed.

Interesting. I do not have enough data to give an accurate opinion.
Could the ancient Israelis have traveled to the Americas ?
I believe so.
Question. Are the American Indians of partial Israeli descent ?

What do I think?
Well, for one thing, I think it's in New Mexico, not Arizona.
I also think it's curiously well preserved for its age.
I also think that whatever is known of this item has been cherrypicked by fundies for the "good sounding" stuff and blown WWWWAAAAYYYYYY out of proportion.
Why? What do YOU think?
.
Additional Details:
Pilgrim said "J.C. Whitney, it is New Mexico. I remembered Arizona. No matter, 3,000 years ago neither name existed."
That's okay. The inscription probably didn't, either.

I don't particularly believe everything I see and read on the Internet.
Photo-shop, if it was discovered prior to 1800 then why hasn't anyone heard of it before now? Hoax?
There are many petroglyphs in AZ and we've heard of seen those for quite some time.

Interesting, but I'm inclined to believe it is a hoax or fraud. The American Indians were not Hebrews.
I have heard of ancient Roman coins being found in North America.

Personally I think the stone is old but the text is not.
The first recorded mention of the stone is in 1933, when professor Frank Hibben, an archaeologist from the University of New Mexico, saw it. Hibben was led to the stone by an unnamed guide who claimed to have found it as a boy in the 1880s. (Mark the "who claimed").

There are several others that have been found throughout North America. I would refer you to a book The "Lost" Ten Tribes of Israel Found by Steven Collins for more information.
Don't tell the athiest I have this book. They are sure I only have bibles and I'd hate to ruin their day.

I think it's a hoax, and this is why: Problems with dating, poor inscription technique, use of modern punctuation, and the unreliability of its discoverer, Frank Hibben.

If it were real I think there would be evidence of settlements and artifacts, such as the Norse settlement at L'Anse Aux Meadows, Newfoundland.

If it is authentic and it seems to be, it means some or all of the lost tribes of Israel made it to North America. That is pretty cool.
