The true tomb was carved, dug, and designed by Joseph of Arimathaea for himself and his wife. It became the most famous place in the world later on, where Joseph was not to lay himself; he was to lay Jesus Christ, God Himself.
Did God command the stone to be removed from the tomb of Jesus and then be erected over the body of Moses, making this Great Stone also a monument to Moses?
Yet, Moses' body still remains disguised, unknown, and hidden by our Great God. Only God Himself knows. As told in Deuteronomy 34:
The Death of Moses
1 Now Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which is opposite Jericho. And the LORD showed him all the land, Gilead as far as Dan, 2 and all Naphtali and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah as far as the [a]western sea, 3 and the [b]Negev and the plain in the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, as far as Zoar. 4 Then the LORD said to him, "This is the land which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, 'I will give it to your [c]descendants'; I have let you see it with your eyes, but you shall not go over there." 5 So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the [d]word of the LORD. 6 And He buried him in the valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth-peor; but no man knows his burial place to this day. 7 Although Moses was one hundred and twenty years old when he died, his eye was not dim, nor his vigourabated.
Whatever the truth, we do know that there is a prophesy in the Bible that connects Moses with everyone who believes in Jesus:
Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him. John 3:14.
Well, here is another secret never before understood.
If we look at the stone after it was rolled down the channel, sealing the entrance to the tomb of Jesus, by Joseph of Arimathaea, We see that the large stopper on the right is nowhere near the stone.
This is for not stopping the stone from rolling past the entrance to the tomb. We can clearly see that this large stopper does not stop the stone at the right place. Yet, the large stopper is clearly marked.

However there are some very old photos of the garden tomb taken between 1898 and 1946, just after the tomb was discovered.
