The cave doesn't exist. This is a fact.
The story is a fake. This is a fact.
You have been taken in. This is a fact.
Now you can either accept and acknowledge this fact or keep doubling down on the lie. Which will it be?

They literally say that their channel is entertainment and should not be considered factual. This is beyond performative stupidity.
Post-truth world. For some there is no longer any difference between facts and non-facts.

empty caves under rivers tend to not stay empty for long

Do you have a source for this story that isn't a for-entertainment-only youtube video channel?

The lack of imagination in those so-called surprising revelations is tiresome.
The "Do Not Open 0r Something Dreadful Will Happen" plot has been used and abused in a myriad of fairy tales on the 5 continents, long before Artificial Idiocy was invented.
One of my favorite is the opening episode in the Chinese classic "Water Margin", where an imperial bureaucrat opens an ancient sealed stele under which the 108 "stars of destiny" are emprisoned. Chaos ensues for the next 900+ pages.
A nice summary in anime format:

I googled around a bit for grown-up reporting, and it seems that the Euphrates drying up has indeed revealed some buried stuff of archeological significance. What it hasn't revealed is all this crazy ◊◊◊◊ about chains and giant skeletons and leprechauns or whatever the nuts are on about.
Seems a nut heard about the legit findings and created some zany story and salted the mine with enough factual stuff to fool someone who wasn't paying much attention and loved them some confirmation bias.

It was clearly labeled as fiction. You were specifically told by its makers not to accept it as a true account.
Can you admit that you made a mistake?

Naah, it's those terrible acoustic versions with twee girly vocals they use in TV ads.

Frog Leap Studios is the exception to the rule. You haven't lived until you've experienced their metal cover of Baby Shark.
