Koreshanity

Koreshanity is the set of religious pseudoscientific[1] beliefs put forth by Cyrus Teed (also known as Koresh).

They are: The sun is an invisible electromagnetic battery revolving in the universe's center on a 24-year cycle.

The outer seven are metallic with a gold rind on the outermost layer, the middle five are mineral and the five inward are geologic strata.

Teed proposed the creation of a "New Jerusalem" as an ideal commune for his followers, to be located on the Mississippi river.

He was influenced, according to historian Robert S. Fogarty, by Emanuel Swedenborg, as was Thomas Lake Harris, and these ideas helped craft his own notion of a "new spiritual heaven…called New Jerusalem.".
