'''Knowledge Towers''' are huge crystalline structures located in the [[Ko-Metru]] district of [[Metru Nui]].

== History ==
Knowledge Towers are created when [[Knowledge Crystal]]s are placed in pre-prepared basins filled with purified [[Protodermis#Liquid Protodermis|Liquid Protodermis]]. Once exposed to the fluid, a Tower will develop within a matter of minutes and is ready to be furnished by the [[Ko-Matoran]]. The Towers reach so high that their rooftops are often covered with ice, but despite their size, Knowledge Towers are extremely fragile. Many [[Rahi]], to include [[Crystal Climber]]s, [[Ice Bat]]s and [[Frost Beetle]]s, established habitats in the area of the Knowledge Towers.

Inside, [[Scholar]]s study and analyze the stars above Metru Nui, trying to predict the future. These scholars are incredibly focused on their work and rarely speak, unless it is absolutely necessary. The Knowledge Towers are also used to store various documents, both for reference by scholars for their work, and for better preservation due to the cold temperatures. Normally, most Matoran are forbidden from entering; however, on [[Naming Day]]s, the Towers open their astronomical observatories to all citizens, so they can observe the shooting stars.

Many significant events in Metru Nui's history have occurred in and around the Knowledge Towers. The technology of developing [[Kanoka]] Disks began in the Knowledge Towers. At some point during the [[Toa Mangai]]'s sojourn on Metru Nui, the tops of the Knowledge Towers were being shattered. Although Toa [[Lhikan]] feared that the [[Kanohi Dragon]] had returned, the cause of the destruction was revealed to be aggressive [[Ice Bat]]s. During the [[Morbuzakh]] attacks, several Knowledge Towers were wrecked by the destructive and destabilizing actions of the vines. Even the presence of [[Vahki]] squads and the cold climate of Ko-Metru did not deter them. Later, [[Toa Metru]] [[Nuju]] recovered the [[Great Disks|Great Disk]] of Ko-Metru from inside an icicle hanging from one of the highest Knowledge Towers.

During the earthquake caused by the [[Great Cataclysm]], many of the Knowledge Towers were shattered. When the Ko-Matoran returned to Metru Nui, reconstruction began on the Towers. They were completely restored through the usage of the [[Staff of Artakha]].

When a fragment of [[Aqua Magna]] hit Metru Nui during a [[Battle of Bara Magna|battle]], it severely damaged the Knowledge Towers, along with the Towers of Thought and the rest of the city. Later, the towers, along with all other locations in the [[Matoran Universe]], were dismantled.{{GregCitation|OGQ|page=4|post=130|lines=7,18}}{{GregCitation|CwGF|page=426|post=10878435}}

=== Towers of Thought ===
The '''Towers of Thought''' were a highly specialized type of Knowledge Tower used by [[Ko-Matoran]] for what were considered to be the most significant research projects, or ones that required absolute silence. Anyone who entered were expected to stay completely quiet, as a squad of [[Keerakh]] were always on standby to ensure silence.
