Like I said, this topic is dependent on archaeology (hence tombs or graves) and theories, so here are additional graves or tombs of interest, and note how long they are:

1) Habil (Abel, the son of Adam and Eve who was murdered by his brother Qabil (Cain) in Abrahamic belief), in the area of Wadi Baradah in Syria (northwest of Damascus, near the border with Lebanon): https://www.arabamerica.com/searching-en...bels-tomb/, https://www.islamiclandmarks.com/syria/tomb-of-habil

2) Shayth (Seth, who was born after the murder of his brother Abel, and succeeded Adam as the leader of his family), in the village of Al-Nabi Shayth (النبي شيث, meaning "The Prophet Seth"), in Beqa' Valley and Ba'albek District (eastern Lebanon, near the border with Syria):
