Jesus was crucified around 30 AD
there is no credible source stating it was 30 AD. it is a fact that Jesus did die and the Romans were good at what they did.
Jesus was buried in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea
all four gospels affirm Joseph attended the Sanhedrin and took Jesus body and buried it in his own tomb.That was Josephs home town and has no meaning toward the story.
The tomb was discovered empty on the 3rd day
all of the gospels state that women found the tomb. But this was shocking because women were not a reliable witness.

Women found the tomb and they were not a credible resource. Paul said one story and then it was passed on.
