  • Visitors to Stonehenge were left baffled by an image of the former US president 
  • The historic UNESCO World Heritage Site was formed thousands of years ago

Donald Trump’s face has seemingly appeared in one of Stonehenge’s ancient pillars. 

Avid stonewatchers believe they have spotted the face of former US president, 77, at the 4,500-year-old monument. 

It is thought the ancients who built Stonehenge in around 2,500 BC believed the stones had magical properties. 

But the site may now have taken on a new meaning, with the spooky appearance of the politician’s face in its midst.  

Trump’s visage appears on one of the 13-feet-high, 25-ton vertical stones on its northern side.

By looking closely at the stone, you can make out Trump’s furrowed brow and open mouth as he appears to be delivering a speech.  

The UNESCO World Heritage site in Wiltshire is one of the most famous landmarks in the United Kingdom, attracting almost 850,000 visitors each year, according to English heritage.

Stonehenge’s first monument was built around 5,000 years ago, while the stone circle was erected around 2,500 BC. 

The huge man-made circle of stones is one of the world’s most famous prehistoric monuments. 

But there is still much mystery surrounding why it was built in the first place – with scientists in June pouring cold water on the popular theory that it was used as a solar calendar to track the days of the year.  

His ‘appearance’ in the stones is likely a dream come true for Trump, who has previously fancied himself as becoming a figure on Mount Rushmore. 

Back in 2020, he tweeted that it ‘sounds like a good idea’ to see himself added to the monument alongside Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Roosevelt, based on the ‘many things’ he believes himself to have accomplished. 

However Mount Rushmore officials say there is no more ‘carvable space’ on the rock, crushing his hopes of becoming its fifth figure.

Trump is due to face trial in Georgia over charges of election fraud.  

On Thursday Trump pleaded not guilty to trying to subvert the 2020 election results in Georgia. 

A week before, he posed for his historic mugshot, which went viral on social media for his scowling and posed facial expression. 

The date for the trial has not yet been set – but it could come next near as he is running for re-election.
