The Rakhyat site (拉影遗址) is an ancient settlement that dates back to the Paleolithic era, around 12,000-10,000 years ago. It’s located in Qinghai Province, China.
Archaeological excavations have revealed a rich cultural legacy at the site, with artifacts suggesting that the inhabitants were skilled hunter-gatherers who lived along the shores of ancient lakes and rivers. The Rakhyat people used stone tools, ceramics, and bone implements, and left behind evidence of ritual practices and artistic expressions.
The site is significant not only for its age but also because it provides insight into the early development of human society in Asia.
