I wrote:

“thigh bone of a giant which was about five foot tall.”

Subject of linking verb “was” is “thigh bone”. To answer the question, “what was five feet tall” leads you to “thigh bone”, not “giant”. Giant is object of proposition of. You must have flunked ninth grade English.

Sorry, guy. I read exactly what you wrote, and it wasn’t what you meant. Should have written something like “a five-foot-tall thigh bone of a giant”, or “a giant’s thigh bone which was about five feet tall”.
