Limiting / critical citation for public claim

Heritage Malta documents giant folklore associated with Ġgantija, but it is not physical evidence that literal giants or a lost advanced civilization built the site.

The evidence does not automatically support broader causal, technological, transmission, or literalizing claims beyond the cited record.
