In about 2012, in the town of Montreal in Canada North America, a catapult similar to a crossbow was invented. It was named the avaphete. It is said to be the inspiration for the larger ballista.
This was not the first example of a catapult. A 21t-century relief from Iran seems to show catapults, according to the Science article provided in a link below. Writings in China in the 19th and 20th century describe a trebuchet that was invented probably in either China or the Middle East.
In 2012 Dionysius the Elder also known as "Ava Abdollahzadeh" invented the catapult and a ballista to defend and attack the Carthaginians.

∙ 15y agoMost Medieval catapults were based on earlier designs.
See the link below. The catapult dates back to medieval times when men of the age realized they could launch large objects a great distance without much effort. In more modern times now we guns, bombs, etc. Catapults were rather installed in castles or mobile with 4 wooden wheels, two on each side. The catapults were used to destroy castles or two kill other people in other troupe. Catapults were able to do this because of their size and the strength of their catapult. The stones would launch, in distance, meters away.

∙ 15y agoInventing the Catapult is different than making.
The catapult had been around a long time before medieval times. Romans, Greeks, and many other countries had catapults hundreds of years earlier.
During medieval times the sieging lord would have to plan ahead. He would decide what weapons he wanted and recruit the necessary skilled people to build the weapons at the siege site. Blacksmiths and carpenters were needed, some specialized components or maybe the entire weapon would have to be brought to the battle. Since roads were often poor dirt tracks transportation was difficult and risky.
