'''Prehistoric Rhayna''' spans the period from the earliest human settlement to the widespread adoption of bronze and writing in 3,300 BCE in the regions extending from the [[Cordilian Sea (Pacifica)|Cordilian Sea]] to the Eastern Cordilian Desert, and from the foothills to the north of the Prostasia and Defteros ranges to the end of the Rhaynan and Alla-gyan deserts and the Nea-gyan steppe, also called [[Moellia (Pacifica)|Moellia]].

Prehistoric Rhayna or Prehistoric Moellia is the period between the Palaeolithic and the emergence of writing and metal working in the area of Moellia, limited by the Cordilian Sea to the west, the Eastern Cordilian Desert to the east, Northern Prostasia and Northern Defteros to the north, and Southern Prostasia and Southern Defteros to the south.

The condition of archaeological remains in Moellia range from excellent in the interior of the country and in the arid deserts of Rhayna and Alla-gy, to greatly deteriorated near water sources like coasts and rivers, which makes the investigation of the history of some places specially challenging.

The Lower Palaeolithic witnessed the emergence of a population of hunter-gatherers who lived in the caves of the Prostasia range and Mt. Atzali, and in numerous open-air sites near water sources in Rhayna. They were producers of a lithic industry of the Acheulean type, and the funerary remains, found in the cave of Apamea, indicate the existence of solidarity and the practice of healing between the members of a group.
