No.
You've been duped by another conspiracy theory because of you confirmation bias.

Of course not.

Then where is the video wrong?

The idea that giants once existed has been around for years, however there is no evidence to support the claim. It often turns out that claims of giant skeletons turn out to be fake.
Why do you fall for this sort of thing?
Did you not study science at school?

Where is it right?
Some of it?
All of it?
You repeatedly ask leading questions in order to not make positive claims, and then pretend that until people debunk your questions, your (unstated) beliefs have withstood skepticism.
The video in your link is from a tv show meant to be entertainment. Trusting that it represents a complete picture of the information it presents, let alone that the presented information is factual, is stupid.
While far from conclusive, this site gives an explanation of the cave findings which is pretty consistent across other sites describing the same place:
Lovelock Cave: A Tale of Giants or A Giant Tale of Fiction?
The Paiutes, a Native American tribe indigenous to parts of Nevada, have an oral tradition that they told to early white settlers of the area about a race of red-haired, white giants or “barbarians”

1. By being made.
2. By being believed.
The capacity for credulity that some people show is astonishing.

We have far more known hoaxes than real giants; see the Cardiff Giant and Solid Muldoon for examples.
If this giant was found in 1911, then where is it? If it was genuine, then a reputable science museum would likely have bought it.
99% likely this is an early 20th century hoax.

Or an early concept for Skyrim.

What you have done is presented...words. That's all, nothing more and nothing less...words.
Can you support your claims? (words)

Yes, they had photo-shop at the turn of the 1900 century.

You haven't offered any supporting evidence to suggest that giants existed. There are several well known hoaxes involving supposed giants - information on this is easily found on the internet.
Given the information about these hoaxes is so easy to find why do you fall for this sort of thing?
Did you study any science at school?

Thank you for showing everyone the giants in the video were simply hoaxes and didn't really exist.
Your over whelming scientific evidence should silence evetyone on this topic once and for all.
We all shoud be extremely grateful to you for having the ability to deem what was presented in the video as a fraud.
Once again thank you for your scientific insight into this topic.

I'm glad you've learnt to do your own fact checking, perhaps it will stop you from falling for such comical nonsense.
I still want to know, did you study any science at school?

Once again, thank you for providing all that information that shows it was all a fraud.
You're the best!!!

That was an old early 20th century photograph. Where are the middle 20th century photos of the same item? Whare are the 21st century photos of it? Where are the scientific studies of it?
We have photos of the Cardiff Giant, a fake. We have photos of Solid Muldoon, another fake. All you have shown us so far is the same as we have from known fakes. What can you give us that shows this object is not just another early 20th century fake?
Where is this object today? Where can we see it?

Much of our actual history has been covered up.

So, we do not have access to this object, and you do not know where it is.
How can we date it if all we have is an old photo? How can we search for biomaterials if all we have is an old photo? How can we check its DNA if all we have is an old photo?
You are asking us to accept an unsupported YouTube video as scientific evidence? You are going to need a lot more than that.
How about the DNA sequence of this organism? Is that too much to ask?

We already know there are "giants"....here's an example.. Will you claim this was faked?
Temujin

They did indeed. There are photos of fairies and of ghosts. Why do you suppose that previous generations are less ingenious and less devious than ours?
