My response is an attempt to avoid biggoted judgment and supply the answer according to my understanding of the Mormon Book's history.

The plates of the Book of Mormon were a collection of books of history and religious teachings of various prophets and leaders from ancient America. The plates were compiled and abridged by the Prophet Mormon around 1,400 years ago and buried in a hill side in what is now known as upstate New York. The intention of these records was to be a second testament that Jesus is the Christ to support the collection of teachings that were compiled in to what we now call the Holy Bible.

These plates were discovered and translated by a young farm boy living in the area named Joseph Smith. Several people wrote a testimonial witness to seeing and feeling the plates. According to Joseph Smith the plates were given to an Angel of God to be stored after translation.

As with most religious text, faith is required when deciding whether the reader of book accepts it as the word of God or just an incredibley powerful spiritual story written by a man.

Improved answer - In regards to the answer posted first (above), the golden plates were not 'discovered' by Joseph Smith. Joseph Smith, when he was 21 years old, was told by an angel where the golden plates were located.
