Seven megalithic temples are to be found on the islands of Malta and Gozo, each a result of an individual development. The Ggantija complex on the island of Gozo is remarkable for its superhuman achievements dating from [the Bronze Age] 3,600 BCE On the island of Malta, the temples of Hagar Qim, Mnajdra and Tarxien are unique architectural masterpieces, given the very limited resources of their builders. The Ta' Hagrat and Skorba complexes bear witness to the development of the temple tradition in Malta. The Hal Saflieni Hypogeum is an enormous subterranean structure excavated with cyclopean rigging to lift huge blocks of coralline limestone around the year 2500 bc (3,000 BCE). The Hypogeum, possibly conceived as a sanctuary, has been a necropolis since prehistoric times.

Which particular megaliths are you referring to, if any in particular? There are indeed many interesting and ancient structures that seem to have little to no historical background that we know of.

i'm looking for nothing more than to shed light on this topic for others, i'm personally well informed on the temples (hell, i'm from the little island), and would like to add another facet to the discussion of ancient civilizations

Well, I can't speak for anybody else, but my excuse is that (to my embarrassment) I've never even heard of these megaliths! I'm going to have to investigate further, now...
