It is easy to get carried away with hagiology of Adam and look to different traditions that have no evidence to support them, and which disappear when new fads arise. Neither The Bible nor the Quran even says that Adam was buried in a coffin. Scientists and most scholars say that Adam never really existed, so there was no coffin.

One of several Islamic traditions says that Adam himself went to Jerusalem and died there (even though there were not yet enough people on earth for any city). Another tradition says that 150 of his descendants carried Adam's body to Jerusalem. Yet another tradition is that Noah (Nuh) buried the thousand-year-old coffin of Noah in Jerusalem.
