I've bounced on their other Sabaic video in the past, but then again this one is uploaded much more recently. On pronunciation I can't really comment, though @Abdalqaum could. Technically it's not really Sabaean foreign policy though.

Subjugating local tribes - in part, through diplomacy - and invading foreign countries is suddenly not foreign policy?
Also, it sounds like some EB music is playing in the background.
Technically, it's not the Sabaeans.
Edit: To be more clear. The tribe of Saba, Salhin (the palace at Marib and name giver to the artificial royal dynasty/tribe) are used to legitimize power. This is no longer a confederation under the hegemony of the Sabaean tribe and their mlk.

I don't remember seeing a dating on the inscription anywhere in the video. How did you fit that into a timeline?
The very edgy and sharp corners of the script, show it's late and likely from the Himyar period. Then you have the title: Kings of Saba and Dhu-Raydan. The mention of both "houses". The mention of Abyssinia. And of course the description from youtube itself are some of the first and most obvious pointers. There are probably more if I'd cared to read it again, but I it's 5 am and I'm going to bed now.
