So?
I mean, it's pretty obvious from the way that the sequence is constructed that you can make the latter members by adding up former ones
8+13= 21
8+13+13= 34
[8+13]+[8 +13 +13] =21+34 = 55
[8+13+13] +[8+13+8 +13 +13] =34+55= 89

And I guess Osiris is a bit miffed about the number 4 having been left off the sequence.
So, you haven't really said anything worthwhile.

3 + 4 + 5 = 12
This is a direct access to the 12-digit number system.

3 * 4 * 5 = 60
This is a direct access to the 60-digit number system.

They chose 12 s a number system because it is 2*3*2.
It's convenient to have a number base with lots of factors, and you get those by multiplying numbers, rather than by adding them.

Similarly, putting a factor of 5 into the mix gives you 2*3*5=30. Another factor of 2 gives 60.

It's nothing to do with addition, nor 3,4,5 triangles.

3 is the second triangular number (after 1)
1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45, 55

4 is the second square number (after 1)
1, 4, 9, 16, 25

5 is the second square pyramidal number (after 1)
1, 5, 14, 30, 55

Here it is, the true WISDOM of the ANCIENTS !!!

Yes, indeed :
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 = 55
11 + 12 + 13 + 14 + 15 + 16 + 17 + 18 + 19 + 20 = 100 + 55
21 + 22 + 23 + 24 + 25 + 26 + 27 + 28 + 29 + 30 = 200 + 55
31 + 32 + 33 + 34 + 35 + 36 = 180 + 21

55 + 100 + 55 + 200 + 55 + 180 + 21 = 666 

55 and 21 are numbers from the Fibonacci sequence !!!
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55 ...

So you don't even know what science is and therefore can't argue that this thread is even about science. Why should we bother keeping this thread around?

And then things changed.
If the Book doesn't agree with the evidence science rejects the Book and the priests reject the evidence.

But that's not the point here.
The fact is that your display of primary school level arithmetic doesn't actually tell us anything, does it?
