Well it sounds like a tech problem, you need help from the civ3 tech forum. I see they sticky win7 and no doubt have answers for vista.

I went there, downloaded the 2 rar files, extracted them and placed them in the Conquests\conquests folder, I also placed the .biz files in the Conquests\scenarios folder.
However when I try to start the Ryhes game from the conquests menu, it seems to just play a regular game of Civ 3 on Rhye's map of the world. For example, I read somewhere that if you choose to play as the Arabs then the game is supposed to begin at 632 AD and your rivals will be the Byzantines, etc. But when I chose to play as the Arabs, the year was 4,000 BC and I had no technologies.
It seems like I am not doing something right, other people here have been talking about "installing" Ryhes, but from the download provided there was no installable exe, just a biz file and subfolders entitled "art" and "text".
What am I doing wrong? Are there any installation instructions available anywhere online for this Mod?

Well, it's an early version. Why you downloaded an early version I don't know. Try going to the first page of this thread and downloading that.
There is no way in Civ3 to emulate this. Unless you make a completely new .biq with these rules changed and the only playable civ as the Arabs.

I have tried downloading various versions that are listed on this thread and all of them do the same thing, when I try to play them, the game starts at 4000 BC.
I don't understand what you are trying to say here at all. Are you saying that The Rhyes of Civ Mod for Civ3 is supposed to start at 4,000 BC for all civs? And therefore the version that I have IS probably working correctly? I thought that the game starts at different times based on the civilization that you choose and that the game is supposed to progress similar to real world history. If that is not the case then perhaps the version I have is running correctly, please let me know.
Is there any easy test to confirm that the mod is running correctly?

Yes, that is exactly what I'm saying. The game start is universal for all civs and that can't be changed, it's hard-coded. You can change the universal start date though.

Rhye's mod for Civ 3 and Rhye's mod for Civ 4 are different.

I see, how do I change the start date?
So if I change the start date to 100 AD and play as the Romans, will I begin with all the cities of the Roman Empire in 100 AD? I.e. controling all of the Mediterranean and England?

No. You are talking about Civ 3 right?
You have to make an entirely new scenario. The computer won't automatically put you in the Mediterranean with all your historically accurate cities. You have to do that.

Yes I was talking about Civ 3. I was under the false impression that the Civ 3 "Rhyes" creates a world as identical to the real world as possible, whereas the Civ 4 "Ryhes and Fall" does the same thing but adds an element of unpredicatability to make the game more "replayable".
I now understand that the Civ 3 "Rhyes" does nothing of the sort and that what I should really be looking for is the Civ 4 "Rhyes and Fall". Thanks for clearing this up.
But all this begs the obvious question: If the Civ 3 "Rhyes" begins with all the civs starting at the same time (4,000 BC) with no technologies, then how is it any different from a regular game of Civ 3?

Well, it is modded in many ways. You might notice at a glance that the map is a new terrain set, the Barbarians are tougher and growth is slow (when you compare). Other features are discussed in this thread and the original thread. The idea is to make it a better game. Enjoy.

Yeah, there are a lot of new units, techs, and I believe it's on the best map of the world made here at CFC! 
It's a great game, and though I don't play this mod anymore (I play my own because, well...it's my own!) I highly endorse it.

In my random-map-game I found myself surrounded by mountains, marsh and jungle, which are impassable.
Game over!
So much for this mod!
Besides, the terrain is ugly as hell.

I believe this mod is for conquests 1.22, which complete has, so yes it can be played on complete.
