"There is a fascinating old site some few miles west of a little town called Los Lunas in New Mexico. The site has been known as "Mystery Mountain" by the locals for many years. At the foot of this hill there is an ancient rock inscription. Many scholars now believe that it contains the Ten Commandments, including 3 instances of the Tetragrammaton, inscribed in old Hebrew letters.
Many modern scholars now seem to agree that the rock inscription is indeed an abridged version of the Decalogue or Ten Commandments. Among others, these include: Cline 1982 (2), Deal 1992 (3), Stonebreaker 1982 (4), Underwood 1982 (5), Cyrus Gordon 1995 (6), and Skupin 1989 (7). In 1996, Prof James D. Tabor of the Dept. of Religious Studies, University of North Carolina, Charlotte, interviewed Professor Frank Hibben who is a local historian and retired archaeologist from the University of New Mexico. Hibben is convinced that the inscription is ancient and thus authentic. He also stated in the interview that he first saw the text in 1933. Also, that he was taken to the site by a guide who had seen it as a boy back in the 1880s. (see Tabor 1996: An Ancient Hebrew Inscription in New Mexico: Fact or Fraud" (8), see also J.Huston McCulloch 1997: "The Los Lunas Decalogue Stone" (9) )."

Duh, this is an abridged (shortened, misspelled, etc.) version of the 10 commandments. Read it yourself, it's not hard. I've explained most of the letters below. It's written right to left.
Of course, figuring out what it says is different from figuring out who said it, and when. For the latter, I think a greater degree of skepticism is called for, especially given that the evidence for antiquity is limited, dubious, and third-hand, and that it would require a substantial revision of the historical record for which corroborating evidence is nonexistent.
