Latin seems to be wrong. It sould be: Nescio ubi sunt (NOT sint).

Subjunctive mood is used with verbs such as "scio" and "nescio". "Nescio ubi sunt" is grammatically incorrect.

Oh, my bad then, thanks for the explanation!

Yes, alexmarcelo is right. Might I add that the rule is more general> the subjunctive mood is used in every indirect question, basically a question disguised as a clause:
ubi habitet dixit (ubi habitat?), quo vadat mihi exponit (quo vadit?) etc.
