Please note the caption of the photograph.

Joe Taylor Director of the Mt. Blanco Fossil Museum, Texas was commissioned to sculpt this anatomically correct, and to scale human femur
My emphasis.
This is a recreation of a hearsay report and of no scientific validity whatsoever.
Further, I would point out that
if a giant of that size had leg bones that were scaled-up versions of normal leg bones, it would be unable to stand. The sqaure-cube law (strength increases as the sqaure of linear size, weight as the cube) would mean that the bones would be unable to support the body weight. I remember some years ago seeing a photgraph of a chinese woman nearly eight foot tall. In walking, she had to support herself on the shoulders of two friends since her legs could not carry her weight.
Finally, a cursory look at the Mt Blamco Museum
web site show it to be a creationist organisation.
