Really its an interesting and surprised having historical relationship with the original place. Christian tradition generally places the tomb of Adam in Jerusalem under the place where Jesus was crucified, called the "Cave of Treasures". Lalibela is just considered as the the second Jerusalem and also include the tomb of adam. I observe the place during my visit to the place.
I was with my family at this place, together there many churches near by... Bete Giyorgis is best(cross church) of all cut deep into bedrock around two floors down... everything is worth seeing here...all who ethiopia, I personally recommend go lalibella...
Tomb is nothing special

(Translated by Google) Interestingly, the tomb of Adam is just a formal name. When Jerusalem was captured, the Ethiopians needed to make copies of all the holy places in Jerusalem, so they made a place called the tomb of Adam (Original) Интересно, что гробница Адама, это всего лишь формальное название. Когда Иерусалим был захвачен эфиопам надо было сделать копии всех святых мест Иерусалима, вот и сделали место, которое назвали гробница Адама
