    Ok, so each person is a little less than 20% carbon, so a pile of 177 bodies would contain about 2000 kilos of carbon.

    Dont forget that almost all of that carbon will be lost as CO2 during oxidation.

      You probably meant to reply to the parent comment, as this is one of the “weird assumptions” I explicitly called out (that almost all of the carbon would be lost).
