Although, both statements rings true, the first one is more correct than the second one. :)

I think both are correct but (2) sounds better. The first one is saying, "The rock is the key (that has come) from the past", which is slightly more clumsy.

2. is correct. 1 would be if it said 'The rock is a key from the past.'

the second one. It states that the rock that we can now examine act as the key to open the door to allow us to see the past.
