Could be, but their were other giants mentioned in the bible, like Goliath the Gittite and after David killed him their was war in Gath again, where their was other men of great stature, 2 Kings 21-20-22
Also when the children of Israel were claiming their lands they found another tripe of Giants.King Og of Bashan, one of the remnant of Rephaim, who lived at Ashtaroth and at Edrei, who slept in a bed over 7 ft. long.The Bible refers to Rephaim as a tall people descended from Nephilim( Giants) and lived during the time of Abraham. Also a valley southwest of Jerusalem..Gen. 14:5: 15:20 Josh 15:8: 2 Sam 23:13

The Ancient Celts had a race called the Tuatha De Danaan, or "people of Dana". They were magi and eventually considered gods and goddesses. When Christianity came to Ireland, the Tuatha were relegated to being "the fairy folk" and went to live underground where they remain to this day.
They were described as being very tall, "of a fair countenance" which means they were fair skinned and golden haired, and of possessing arcane knowledge that even the druids did not have.
I read an article last year that descibed a find of skeletons in way northern China. They were larger than our contemporary humans. They had blonde hair and were wearing the clothing of the Celts.
Is it possible that the flood didn't reach Ireland?
Or are these enormous skeletons really proof not of Nephilim, but of the Yeti?

So, I took a few minutes to research this post, and found the following:
The replica, it seems is a hoax. It fails to follow the laws of proportion for bearing weight. It was based on evidence from a letter which alludes to a rumor. There is no reference to the finding of the original bones in any road construction project in Egypt or Turkey (both of which are claimed variously as the source for these bones)
There have been allusions to other "giant" bones being found, but all evidence of them is missing. Creationists claim, rather conveniently, that whenever these are found, that they are destroyed by proponents of evolution.
Anyway, one site debunking this is listed below.

I'm reading a book about hoaxes at this very minute and a lot of those "recorded human fossil finds" sound like hoaxes to me.
So the bones are not likely to be from abnormally large humans or angels.

Well done. More fakes. The picture of the femur is a reconstruction based on a poor description in a letter from a road builder, who probably couldn't recognise one type of leg bone from another. There is no secondary evidence for it, just one letter which could easily have been faked.
As for the photo of the huge skeleton, it is an obvious fake.
It is sad that people resort to deception and lies to try and prove their own point of view.

Who are the Nephilims ? Never heard or read of them, but from the word-structure it probably derives from Hebrew; Anyway, abnormally large humans are nothing new, Goliath was supposed to be one of them, the Big Feet in the USA etc.

We have very old tombs of saints in Turkey that are pretty long in lengh and suggest the owners were extremely tall.
These are from around the year 1300 and its interesting to note this.
But I dont believe angels can fall.
They dont have free will.
Satan wasnt an angel..He was a fire born creature who served God along side the angels.
Angels are pure creatures. They cannot fall.
