According to the Bible, Adam finally died at the age of 930 years, the traditional Jewish view being that he and Eve are currently buried in the Cave of Machpelah, in Hebron.

Even if the world is only 6,000 years old, and even if Adam lived to 650 or 950 or something like that, the remains have long ago not only gone to dust, but have been imbibed by beings who have gone to dust.
Furthermore, there's every chance, since in the Aramaic culture they indicated myths by having God do things in a limited body in a limited way, and in the Adam and Eve story God 'sits down on a rock' and 'stitches animal hides together to make clothes for Adam and Eve', that the entire thing is a teaching myth, an allegory, a metaphor.......so Adam did not have one definate human body and was not buried anywhere in particular.

The Cave of the Patriarchs is a religious compound located in the ancient city of Hebron (which lies in the southwest part of the West Bank, in the heart of ancient Judea), and is generally considered by Jews, Christians, and Muslims, to be its spiritual center. Jewish, Christian, and Islamic, tradition holds that the compound encloses the burial place of four Biblical couples: (1) Adam and Eve; (2) Abraham and Sarah; (3) Isaac and Rebekah; (4) Jacob and Leah. According to Midrashic sources, it also contains the head of Esau.

You will never find the answer to that question because they are buried no where. Adam and Eve were not two people, they were a group of beings called the "Adamites" and they were not the first people on earth. You can not use the Bible as a Reference because it is plagiarized from older civilizations that existed thousands of years before the Bible or the Adamites.
Noah's Ark was not found in Turkey or anywhere else, that was just some ones interpretation of archaeological findings. The scientists themselves dispute that idea.

I don't think we have any information on that. Please tell him not to worry about it. The remnants of something that may have been Noah's Ark have been found, I think in a remote area of Turkey, but I cannot recall any identification of earlier Biblical landmarks.

this question is not answered in the Bible, as far as I know, no one knows the answer. We don't even know what was done with the bodies of the dead at that time.

it does not say where they were buried in the Old Testament. Since there is no definitive answer, choose wherever you like.

Adam and Eve are a myth. Fable. Fairy tale.
Nothing more.
Grow up.

This is one of those mysterious questions that will never be answered.
