Adam and Eve are supposed to be buried there

Another Answer:

Christians believe they are 'spiritual' children of Abraham, grafted into the tree of life via Jesus Christ.

The Cave of Machpelah is where all but Rachel is buried: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Sarah, Rebecca, and Leah. The cave and adjoining land was purchased by father Abraham for full price and is referred to as the Tomb of the Patriarchs.
