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.

She was 13 years old wen she invented the catapult and a ballista.Her dad Mohamad Ali abdollahzadeh siakali helped her buy giving her idea for the catapult. He wanted her to build a hugmuges catapult.
