I was going on the assumption an artifact was something recovered from an era past.

No, an artifact is from another time, in this case the future.

I'd send myself a list of events, which I would command myself to write into a prophacy. Knowing me, i'd not bother, lose the list and find it in a box a few years later, having by that point a sizable amount of correct information, thus convincing myself, and with the remaining events build up enough of a cult to have me able to talk garbage for long after the twenty years and someone else find a sence in which what I said had been true.

Some futuristic invention or apparatus as an artifact?

Tazer
Lighters
Lightweight outdoor clothing and gear.
The winning numbers of several lottery numbers.
Winners of horse races.
money to buy stock
I would take other things and insights to the past so that I can become rich and hopefully not be one of the financial victims 20 years later.

yeah right. I just burst my own bubble

Whatever it was I gave to humanity, obviously it didn't help.

My cool Xenon cell phone. 20 years ago it was Star Trek.

I'd attach a lot of random circuit boards from the junkyard to a calculator and the biggest vibrator I could find and let them wonder....
