Not all websites are "wrong." Not all websites are "right".
Not all books are "wrong." Not all books are "right".
Not all academics ... but I think you've probably got the point by now: which is that all statements and sources, whatever their provenance, should be carefully checked before being accepted, rejected or modified.
You mention your "Imhotep article which lists a lot of details about Imhotep from sources," but don't wish it to be "possibly awfully attacked by critics."
If your work is solidly based, it would be able to withstand examination.
