1700's? do you have anything a little more diffinitive? Like it was started by a child or someones brother? I do remember reading some old book that mentions giants 1000's of years ago.

Alex Boese, "curator" of the virtual Museum of Hoaxes, said fake giants have a long history going back to the at least the 1700s.
The recent hoax is reminiscent of the once famous Cardiff Giant myth, involving a ten-foot-tall (three-meter) stone figure dug up in 1869 in Cardiff, New York, Boese said.
So the hoaxes go back to at least the 1700s. Legends about giants? Those are as old as humanity.

Some 2300 years ago, Alexander the Great realized he had spread his armies too thin, so he had his armorers create giant helmets and breastplates to leave behind after a battle, to fake potential attackers into thinking that he had giants in his armies so they'd better not mess with him.
it's not a hoax ! Other books have been written Michael Cremo, Lloyd Pye, and many others have written about this.
From Wiki:
Michael A. Cremo (born July 15, 1948), also known by his devotional name Drutakarmā dāsa, is an American freelance researcher who identifies himself as a Vedic creationist and an "alternative archeologist" and argues that humans have lived on the earth for millions of years. [...] in his book, Forbidden Archeology, Cremo argues for the existence of modern man on Earth as long as 30 to 40 million years ago. Forbidden Archeology [...] has attracted attention from mainstream scholars who have critiqued the views given on archeology and consider it pseudoscientific.
Cremo is a member of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness and the Bhaktivedanta Institute. He has written several books and articles about Hindu spirituality under the name Drutakarmā dāsa. He has also been a contributing editor to the magazine Back to Godhead and a bhakti yoga teacher. Cremo told Contemporary Authors that he decided to devote his life to Krishna in the early 1970s, after receiving a copy of the Bhagavad Gita at a Grateful Dead concert.
and...
Lloyd Anthony Pye Jr. (September 7, 1946 – December 9, 2013) was an American author and paranormal researcher best known for his promotion of the Starchild skull. He claimed it was the relic of a human-alien hybrid, although DNA testing showed it to be from a human male. He also promoted the ideas that cryptozoological creatures such as Bigfoot are real and that aliens intervened in human development.
