  "markdown": "Status: **reconstructed; the original body is not in the community archive**.\n\nThe community archive has a record for it, but its Reddit body was removed and its analysis payload is empty.\n\nThe surviving [original Reddit thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/A858DE45F56D9BC9/comments/k96b1/201109081949/) preserves the early decoding discussion, and the [Solving_A858 wiki entry](https://www.reddit.com/r/Solving_A858/wiki/201109081949/) preserves the decoded picture and recipe. An independent [Pastebin copy](https://pastebin.com/P9GmZjX9) also preserves the decoded ASCII art.\n\nPublished recipe, in the direction needed to decode:\n\n1. Replace every `V` with `A`.\n2. Remove whitespace and hex-decode to Base64.\n3. Base64-decode to the ASCII art.\n\nThe decoded artifact is saved verbatim as `201109081949-stonehenge-ascii.txt`. It is a reconstruction from surviving decoded copies, not a recovered copy of the original Reddit hex payload.\n\n\n## Reconstructed ASCII art\n\n```text\n          .-----------.         .------------.\n               :`.__________`        :`.____________`  .-----.._\n               '.'_.------._.'       `.|__.-------..'  |`-..___.'|\n              | ||__..| | |-._ __   | | |.... || |-._`--..__ |.'---.\n          .::/ / |    | |  |  ___  `-|  |  _  || |   | | | | | \\    `.\n      _.-.`  -`.|_|    `.|.' /`.  `.
