Did you read my post #4? Angor-wat is a representation of Hinduism. Those kings were varmas/hindu kshatriyas themselves, and practised hinduism. Where did khymer civilization come into picture??

Pl read the history correctly. Ankor Wat is built on Khmer Architecture while it is a Hindu temple built by a Chola King - Suryavarman II.

Angkor Wat (Khmer: អង្គរវត្ត) is the largest[1] Hindu temple complex in the world, situated at Angkor, Cambodia, built by King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century as his state temple and capital city. As the best-preserved temple at the site, it is the only one to have remained a significant religious centre since its foundation – first Hindu, dedicated to the god Vishnu, then Buddhist. The temple is at the top of the high classical style of Khmer architecture. It has become a symbol of Cambodia, appearing on its national flag, and it is the country's prime attraction for visitors.

This appears on thier national flag & that how proud they are about their culture.

Pl show respect to other countries culture & traditions.
