Pokot Background

[upepo]

King Tutankhamun owned walking sticks whose crook handles depicted his most stubborn enemies. The King used these walking sticks in ceremonies during his lifetime. One of these walking sticks has a crook handle that depicts a Pokot, whose face and limbs are made of ebony that simulates his hardy nature. He wears a pleated garment with multicolored streamers.

I'd say pokots didn't exist then. Or any of the current people groups in kenya, but their ancestors before splitting and/or merging mix and match to form the current people groups in Africa
