I don't think Angkor Watt is a copy. I read that there was a similar temple to Angkor Watt, but Much Smaller than Angkor Watt. If anything, the appropriate word would be that Angkor Watt was influenced by Hindu temples of India rather than being an outright copy.
You should be proud of your Ancient Khmer achievements.

Angkor Wat is not a direct copy of any specific Indian temple, but just inspired by many different kinds of Indian temples.

Angkor Wat is the original, it is not a copy of any Indian temple.
