history+of+catapults

**This is a catapult used in battles and wars and this is a defense tower that catapults were used to destroy.**
 * The first catapult was used in wars of 400BC to launch rocks and other weapons. They used these to take down enemy buildings like castels and forts. It was setup where you tied a string around the platform of the base, loaded the weapons into the cup sized holder, then you aimed and cut the string causing the weapons to shoot out of the holder and hit the intended target.**
