Burial of Adam in the Cave of Treasures
In The Cave of Treasures, when Adam was dead his son Seth embalmed him according as Adam had commanded him, with myrrh, cassia, and stakte. Adam's dead body was the first buried in the earth. Seth and his sons mourned one hundred and forty days. They took Adam's body up to the top of the mountain and buried it in the Cave of Treasures.
After the children of Seth had buried Adam, they separated from the children of Cain. Seth took Andsh, his firstborn, Kainan, Mahlalail and their wives and children up into the glorious mountain where Adam was buried, while Cain and his descendants remained on the plain where Cain slew Abel. The Life of Adam and Eve states that God directed the archangels to cover Adam's body with cloths of fine linen and silk and pour olive oil of sweet odour upon him.
