Were the Egyptians destroyed as a people?

Does verse 25:36 mean that the Egyptians ceased to exist as a people after the Exodus? > And We said, "Go both of you to the people who have denied Our signs." > Then We destroyed them with [complete] destruction. (25:36) > And Pharaoh called out among his people; he said, "O my people, does > not the kingdom of Egypt belong to me, and these rivers flowing > beneath me; then do you not see? Or am I [not] better than this one > who is insignificant and hardly makes himself clear? Then why have > there not been placed upon him bracelets of gold or come with him the > angels in conjunction?" So he bluffed his people, and they obeyed him. > Indeed, they were [themselves] a people defiantly disobedient [of > Allah]. And when they angered Us, We took retribution from them and > drowned them all.(43:51-55) > So Pharaoh pursued them with his soldiers, and there covered them from > the sea that which covered them(20:78)
