is and the Elohim (God)/Anunnaqi said amongst themselves.

I research Anunnaqi & this is what I found:

The Anunnaki (also transcribed as: Anunnaku, Ananaki) are a group of Sumerian and Akkadian deities related to, and in some cases overlapping with, the Annuna (the 'Fifty Great Gods') and the Igigi (minor gods). The name is variously written "da-nuna", "da-nuna-ke4-ne", or "da-nun-na", meaning something to the effect of 'those of royal blood'[1] or 'princely offspring'[2] or "heaven and earth" (Anu-na-ki).

According to later Babylonian myth, the Anunnaki were the children of Anu and Ki, brother and sister gods, themselves the children of Anshar and Kishar (Skypivot and Earthpivot, the Celestial poles). Anshar and Kishar were the children of Lahm and Lahmu ("the muddy ones"), names given to the gatekeepers of the Abzu temple at Eridu, the site at which the Creation was thought to have occurred.


So how come we never hear of this in mainstream religion?

*So how come we never hear of this in mainstream religion?*

Each sect or cult seeks to protect their own turf and deny access to other lines of thought as much as they can.
Folks talk about the children of Eve and how come no mention of female children especially by name in the main stream religious books.

an example:

The First Book of Adam and Eve
Part 9 Chapter LXXIV 4 - 9 The birth of Cain and Luluwa. Why they received those names.

But when Adam saw the distress in which Eve was, he got up and prayed to God, and said, "O Lord, look at me with the eye of Your mercy, and bring her out of her distress."
And God looked at His maid-servant Eve, and delivered her, and she gave birth to her first-born son, and with him a daughter. Then Adam rejoiced at Eve's deliverance, and also over the children she had borne him. And Adam ministered to Eve in the cave, until the end of eight days; when they named the son Cain, and the daughter Luluwa. The meaning of Cain is "hater," because he hated his sister in their mother's womb; before they came out of it. Therefore Adam named him Cain. But Luluwa means "beautiful," because she was more beautiful than her mother.Then Adam and Eve waited until Cain and his sister were forty days old, when Adam said to Eve, "We will make an offering and offer it up in behalf of the children."

Another Example:

The First Book of Adam and Eve
Part 10 Chapter LXXV 11 -13

When the children were weaned, Eve again conceived, and when her pregnancy came to term, she gave birth to another son and daughter. They named the son Abel and the daughter Aklia. Then at the end of forty days, Adam made an offering for the son, and at the end of eighty days he made another offering for the daughter, and treated them, as he had previously treated Cain and his sister Luluwa.
He brought them to the Cave of Treasures, where they received a blessing, and then returned to the cave where they were born. After these children were born, Eve stopped having children.

We just do not know how much we do not know.

Diety-A deity or god is a postulated preternatural or supernatural being, who is always of significant power, worshipped, thought holy, divine, or sacred, held in high regard, or respected by human beings.

This would be the equivalent to Greek and Roman Mythology. They wouldn't speak of this in mainstream religion because the three major religions are monotheistic and don't believe in other gods or dieties.
Maybe they are mentioned in polytheistic religious in the ancient Babylonian region.

One thing that the Mesopotamian cultures had in common was jostling, crowded pantheons. Just as Israel slowly emerged from all of that, so also did the incredibly radical concept of monotheism. That development is seen in the layers of Torah and the echoes of its pre-monotheistic beginnings.

Romans 15:4
For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

You are assuming that religion is about truth.
