Not sophisticated compared to astronomy of Galileo and his contemporaries. Ah yes, who could forget the "discovery" of the heliocentric system by Galileo and his contemporaries, eh?
Except, they weren't the first in modern history to realize the heliocentric astronomy of our solar system. The Sumerians discovered that 4500 years prior to it being "discovered" in the 1500's.
Lost technology doesn't mean no-technology. People need to start realizing that our ancient ancestors may have known a lot more than they are given credit for. I'm better than you, but that doesn't mean you're not great!

[I'm curious to see if there is any writings or drawings of dinosaurs before 1700. Are you? Because the first one... you immediately dismissed it.
The Nile Mosaic of Palestrina is a tile mosaic that was made around 150 BC, which among other scenes, depicts various animals being hunted. One of those animals being hunted appears to be a dinosaur:

^ That doesn't exactly align with historians.
Apparently dinosaurs went extinct in a global catastrophe, small mammals serviced, evolution happened, and then humans existed.
Did we exist along side dinosaurs, or did evolution happen? If I showed you this picture:
Would you assume that humans lived alongside dinosaurs? Or would you assume that's how we pictured a dinosaur would look, based on the bones?

I think that's a crocodile. My guess is the artist never saw a crocodile and created the mosaic from discriminations. My guess is the artist in both pictures has never seen a dinosaur in real life, and has to create one from discrimination.
The modern dinosaur feels more dinosaur like because that's how you've grown up to know it.
But um, we don't actually know if dinosaurs looked. We don't even know if they had feathers or not. A T-Rex might have looked like a giant chicken for all we know. The bones don't tell us about that unfortunately.
Giant feathered dinosaurs might look quite odd, and might make you ask if the person was actually drawing a chicken, and not a dinosaur, but, in reality, the feathered dinosaur might be more accurate even though it feels more alien that what you're accustomed to.

As for King Nabonidus, he was a satanist, moon worshipping, werewolf. He liked the dragon, not dinosaurs. Hey, everyone's gotta have a saturday night, right?
Plus, how do you know his dragon wasn't a dinosaur? The words virtually mean the same thing; large reptile. I'm better than you, but that doesn't mean you're not great!

Lol. I like it. Without knowing the truth about unicorns, with a picture like that you could persuade any girl to leave their tent and run off with you.
Looks like they used to have blue trees!! Woah, I never imagined blues trees and grass before. Imagine a world full of blue trees and grass. Dear God, please send the competition, feels like there ain't any.
I long lost count of the victories, there were just far too many.

That picture proves about as much as the mosaic, nothing.
Doesn't actually seem like you're interested in seeing ancient depictions of dinosaurs. You say you are, but, it seems like you're only saying that so you can dismiss the images. I'm better than you, but that doesn't mean you're not great!
