The Bible describes it as a boulder or round stone that could be rolled away. This does seem to have been the case late in the first century, when the gospels were actually written, but archaeologists say that square-cut stones were used in the first half of the century. It is more likely that a square-cut rock would have been used, and that it could not be rolled away as described.

Where is the stone that was rolled away when Jesus rose from the dead?
A:Although Helena, mother of Emperor Constantine, found to her own satisfaction every important site and artefact in Jerusalem associated with Jesus, she seems to have overlooked the stone that was rolled away from the tomb. Due to this oversight, we have none. Even the shape of the stone is uncertain. The gospels depict a round stone that can be rolled away. This was the practice after 70 CE, when the Gospel was written, but round stones were not used in the early years of the century. If there was a stone to be found, it must have been shaped square. Any round stone put forward as the actual stone of Jesus' tomb can therefore be identified immediately as a fraud.AnswerThis stone was round but has long since been lost. (See the writings of Alfred Edersheim, a Jew who became Christian)
