∙ 14y agoI'll start by answering the way you asked it, and then clarify the answer. Mary Magdalene is the one who "found the stone moved", this is recorded in The Gospel of John chapter 20. The 3 other Gospels add that other women met with Mary Magdalene that morning (Mary the mother of James, Salome, Joanna) so one or more of them could have seen it also. But if you want to know who first saw the stone rolled away, it was the guards watching the tomb and the Angel who moved the stone, that is recorded in The Gospel of Matthew chapter 28.
Matthew 28: 2 And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it. 3 His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. 4 And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men.

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)

What kind of stone was used for Jesus' tomb?
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.

What happened to Jesus after he came down from the cross?
When he was brought down off the cross he was dead. He was given back to his followers and they laid him in a cave as his final resting place.

Would not the resurrection of Jesus be more believable had the stone not been removed and Jesus be gone but since it was rolled away and not replace as thieves would do?
No, it would not be more believable. The Resurrection of Jesus (and Christianity for that matter) is a matter of faith. To the believers, the act of Resurrection is fine just the way it is. To the non-believer, it wouldn't matter what and/or how Jesus rose from the dead, they would still not believe it.
