Names don't make things great. Not even great names.

I don't believe that dating.
and is depicted wearing rosary of Rudraksha beads in the icon of different historical era. So it reveals that the merit of Rudraksha are first realized by Shiva himself and handed over to benefit of later generation.
How does that follow? Aren't they just standard attributes for Shiva images?

That is, indeed, very useful. I wonder, though, if they would clash with my Shaman Robe that I got from a real shaman.

How do you think he knows this, since writing was invented in ancient Sumer in ~3000 B.C.?
ETA: The oldest known cave paintings are in Chauvet cave in southern France and Fumane Cave in northern Italy, and are 32,000-35,000 years old. Still not even close.

What would you have us do with these silly beads?
Respect them?
Admire those who wear them?
Buy them?
I believe that there is a chakra towards which the beads could be applied. Begins with 'k'.
I'm afraid that you're some combination of woo, deluded, and fraud. It doesn't really matter to me which combination.
The only proper use of the word 'holy' is in the term 'holy basil'. I love Thai food.

Well, he said they would help one "maintain physical and mental health". Really, if they could get one of the millenarians who has worn them for as little as a thousand years to advertise them, they'd have orders for them out the wazoo! Hell, I'd buy one.

Sometimes a flyby woo post can lead you off into interesting directions.
I knew (tm) that archeologists had found beads associated with ancient human remains and trotted off to Google to see how far back they have been dated. Seems like the oldest have been discovered in the Skhul Cave in Israel. Estimates of their age range from 90,000 to 135,000 years.
Google <beads "Skhul Cave" > if you would like more details.

According to the Hindu scripture, Rudraksha beads are the holiest items embodied with mystical powers. These scriptures state that Rudraksha is utilized to bring spiritual and material well-being to the wearer as well as for medicinal purposes since the ancient times.
Most of the powers of Rudraksha are associated with the number of mukhi or faces the beads have. Yogis and Monks of Nepal, India and many other countries have worn Rudraksha beads for thousands of years to cultivate physical, mental and health prowess to achieve Fearlessness on their Spiritual path leading to enlightenment and liberation. According to old scriptures, 'He who wears Rudraksha round the hands, arms and over the head cannot be killed by any living being. He shall roam the world in the form of Rudra. He shall be respected by the Gods and Assures always as well as be honored like Shiva. Even the devotees of Vishnu and other deities shall unhesitatingly wear the Rudraksha for gaining spiritual enlightenment'.
The natural Electromagnetic Properties of the Holy Rudraksha Beads have been found to improve concentration, focus and mental stamina. When worn on Malas around the heart area it was found that they reduce and control stress levels, blood pressure and hypertension resulting in the feeling of tranquility and calmness. Rudraksha Beads were found to be ideal for focused Meditation and other Spiritual Practices.

They are the berries of a tree. It's not impossible that the berries actually have some sort of medicinal value, but that's not going to work if you wear them as beads.

According to old scriptures, 'He who wears Rudraksha round the hands, arms and over the head cannot be killed by any living being.
This should be easy enough to test.
He shall roam the world in the form of Rudra. He shall be respected by the Gods and Assures always as well as be honored like Shiva. Even the devotees of Vishnu and other deities shall unhesitatingly wear the Rudraksha for gaining spiritual enlightenment'.
Geesh.... Put on a few beads and you're as honoured as a god.
The job of a deity has really lost a lot of respect lately hasn't it..? Kids just don't respect authorities anymore.
The natural Electromagnetic Properties of the Holy Rudraksha Beads have been found to improve concentration, focus and mental stamina.
This too should be easily testable, probably a little harder to do, but more ethical.
When worn on Malas around the heart area it was found that they reduce and control stress levels, blood pressure and hypertension resulting in the feeling of tranquility and calmness.
Testable and according to your message tested, please produce the original research rather than stating: "... it was found that", which sounds rather circumspect.
