Are modern Egyptians descendants of the ancient Egyptians or at least there are part of them as well and the same with other ancient civilizations?

Hey, my friend and he is an Egyptologist , told me that most modern archaeologists tend to that populations were rarely replaced in the past and that cultural change came about through cultural change rather than the displacement of populations, That is, there is indeed a large part of the Egyptians whose origins go back to their ancient civilization, as well as the Iraqis, the Chinese and others. Is this true? Do most modern archaeologists really think so?

Not that more couldn't be said, but you may be interested in this thread which connects to two of my own answers to similar questions.
