Therein lies your problem. None of that is "firmly established". If it was firmly established, then we wouldn't be here, in this forum, would we?
It is written in a book... well, several books and letters, most based on one of those books.
An extraordinary tale written in a book, retold in others... and told differently in others still... is... is not how to write history.... not when the subject is that important. Not when the subject is that significant.
Similarly extraordinary tales have been written in books apart from yours... and yet, you don't attribute them any sort of "establishment"... they're myths, right?
