"Adam" wasn't real.

Adam just means "humanity."
It was a story to explain the the first human beings.

But you can look at the Egyptian mummy coffins to get an idea of how tall/short the Pharoahs were.

Everything shoveling_ferret suggests is true. I would add though, that recent Cro-Magnon skeletal finds indicate that the average European cave dwellers were larger than people of today by a few inches...

Remember, Cro-Magnon lived 10-40,000 years ago, and hunted wooley mammoths & rhinocerus, and had to be a tad more robust...

The two male skeltons which I observed, were estimated to be 2 meters tall (6'6"), which is about the height of a modern professional basketball player, which is well above the average height of today's humans...

A good way to distinguish the height of people from Ancient Civilization is to locate a skeleton like a Ancient Egyptian mummy.

Ancient populations tended to be smaller in stature than modern populations, though there were individual exceptions. The reason for this is tied to nutrition and medical technology. Improved nutrition and medical abilities allow for greater growth in humans.
So, you're not going to be able to find the proof you're looking for.

you've got it backwards in most cases people 2 or 3000 years ago were much shorter than the average person of today.
