Yes, it's taken me a while to appreciate the work of Banksy, but his new exhibition has done it. The crop circles cause thousands of pounds worth of damage. Some farmers mow them straight away and you can imagine how popular the damaged shrine seekers will be locally. But how smart is it to produce a Zoroastran symbol hundreds of feet long, without trace, on the day Iran holds a crucial election? That is intelligent design!

I agree that it is a pretty amazing design ..... as it happens a few of us know of at least two highly talented people who live in Yatesbury and are more than capable of creating this artwork (though probably nothing to do with either).

But is it a Zoroastrian symbol?

I would say it's far more likely a Phoenix Rising. It even has flames around it's base...

The Zoroastrian symbol is very much a man with wings where as the Crop Circle is clearly a bird..
