Loch Ness is around 23 miles x 1 mile x say 200 ft deep.

5000 ish feet in a mile so about 1/25th mile deep.

So 23 x 1 / 25 = about 1 cubic mile.

When I was a kid I recall the answer being a cube with sides of 1/2 mile.

So Loch Ness is maybe 8 times too big.

But one of the closest answers I've seen.:rock:

Actually estimates say that about 100,000,000,000 have ever lived (and 94% of those have died). And Lochness is estimated at 263,000,000,000 cu.ft.

So that's 2.63 cu.ft per person - a bit cramped by todays standards; but if people were historically shorter (and not american), plus a high infant mortality rate - I reckon Loch Ness can't be far out.
