Philip Coppens (1971-) started his career as an investigative journalist, with specialist subject the world of politics and intelligence agencies. As a result, material uncovered on the life of President John F. Kennedy’s alleged assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, was used by a US government enquiry in 1994. In 1995, he established Frontier Magazine (formerly Frontier 2000) together with Herman Hegge, a newsstand magazine in the Netherlands and Belgium, creating a series of scoops such as confirmation of the existence of pyramids in China. These and other often groundbreaking articles have resulted in a series of articles appearing in various magazines (Fortean Times, Nexus, Hera, Mysterien, New Dawn, etc.) across the world, as well as appearances on radio and television (Belgium's Kanaal 2, Voyager (RaiDue - Italy), Swiss International Radio, Dreamland Radio, The X-Zone (Talkstar Radio), Eye on the Future, etc.). Since 1995, Frontier Sciences Foundation has grown to incorporate, amongst others, Frontier Bookshop and Frontier Publishing.

Scottish chapel and its relationship with freemasonry and the
Knights Templar; The Canopus Revelation
(2004), on the lore of the star Canopus in ancient cultures;
Land of the Gods (2007), on the prehistory of Southern
Scotland and the myth of King Arthur; and The
New Pyramid Age (2007), detailing the most recent discoveries
that have changed our understanding of pyramids. He is the author of three Dutch-language books. One was published in 1994, on the megalithic civilisation of Western Europe, a synopsis of which was worked into a German 1996 publication (Sind wir allein? – Ulrich Dopatka, editor). In 2004, he wrote De Da Vinci Code Ontcijferd, a high-level introduction to the mysteries incorporated in Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code. 2005 saw the publication of De Stenen Puzzel van Rosslyn Chapel, the Dutch edition of the Rosslyn book, which also has an Italian edition (2005).
