The term "Mormon Bible" is inaccurate, as Mormons use the Holy Bible as scripture. You may be referring to "The Book of Mormon," a book found and translated by Joseph Smith, founder of the Mormon faith.
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believe that the Book of Mormon has historical value rather than simply being fictive. Different theories have sought to find a place for the people and places listed in the Book of Mormon (such as the Moundbuilders in the Mississippi river valley).
However, in more recent years the ancient Mayan culture has been the center of attention for Mormons.
Whether one finds any connection between the Book of Mormon and the Mayan culture and artifacts (or any other group) is really a matter of faith.
Another Answer:
"Mormons" (members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) use the King James Version of the Bible.
If you are referring to the Book of Mormon (which is used alongside, not in place of, the Bible), some versions of the Book of Mormon distributed by the church's missionaries include an image of Jesus Christ appearing to the Nephites (see the image at the "Related Link" below). The Book of Mormon describes this event as taking place shortly after the Savior's resurrection and Ascension (about 34 AD). [see 3 Nephi chapters 11-28 - pages 427-463]
The Book of Mormon takes place between 2000 BC and 300 AD on the American continent - the same time period that historians place the Preclassic Mayan civilization in Mesoamerica. Some connections between Mayan culture and the culture of the Book of Mormon peoples have been found, leading many Mormons to belive that the Mayan and other ancient Mesoamerican people (such as the Olmec and Aztec) are some of the same people that are described in the Book of Mormon.

Are Christians and masons enemies?
Catholics I know have pointed to the fact that Masons are a secret society and shied away from them. Baptists and Protestants have joined the Masons, even preachers I have known. In the late seventies, Moody Monthly listed Masons and Eastern Star as cults. While Masons read the Bible, it seems to be more of a ritual or a "work." Some of the secret practices of freemasonery seem to be rather silly to Christians or even "dark" practices that do not honor God. There is evidence that Joseph Smith was a mason and that Mormon practices include those very similar to freemasonery. If nothing else, the Mormon Temple practices are secret, like those of the secret society called The Masons.
