Maybe they just saw a snail and admired the spiral shape of the shell. No math needed, but it is a perfect expression of the golden mean

Without taking a stand on the accuracy of the claim, the article states that the Archimedes spiral is not found in nature, and it specifically mentions that snail shells do not follow that pattern.
