"When I take a bath, I usually sit up and read, but I can also go prone and submerge myself, all with the same amount of water. Judging from the clams on Mount Everest I would guess that it was prone at one time."

Then the question becomes where did the prone person come from and where did he go? Mountain ranges were "pushed up" by tectonic plate forces sometime making sea beds "appear" on top of what have become mountains.

Yes, but then what is the point of your water volume calculations?
