Atlantis Exists

Atlantis jut never went into the ocean and they don't have super advanced tech how would this effect colonization would there be natives? i think Portugal would get to it first or Atlantis would be found by the Romans way before the age of colonization could the Roman empire survive in this atlantis?

I don't think Portugal would be the ones to get there first simply because Portugal wouldn't exist yet when reaching it became possible. Especially if we go with the second map which would make it easy for ships drifting off the coast of north africa to spot it at a distance and eventually land.

First map might get to keep itself hidden for longer but likely still would be found before the OTL new world discoveries due to being closer

First of all, which map are you talking about @IAteCreepyPasta?
In the top one, contact with the island we now call Newfoundland would be the earliest.
In the bottom one, contact with what is now Western Sahara would be the earliest.
How can you be certain that its going to be other lands finding Atlantis first instead of Atlantis finding other lands first?

So a Possible Roman Atlantis if we do the 2nd map maybe it survives in Atlantis and the finds America with the first one could europe find The Americas way earlier like Frankonian times A possible Frankish colony or Vandal Atlantis and what would the possible natives be of Atlantis for the first one it could be a mix of europeons and native Americans or just essentially a continuation of Europe like have scandivnavia is disconnected and Bratin but still seen as a core part of Europe? 2nd one could be the same Roman Empire could discover it and then incorporate it then it would be seen as a core part of Europe?

for the first one can the Natives of America reach it? and if they did who would get to them first Romans Vandals or the same as OTL? and if Atlantsi finds Europe and the Americas what would the natives be like i think for the first one maybe it probably would North Africans/Europeon since there is small islands connecting to it but at Newfoundland its just ocean about the size of A great lake for the 2nd one the same as the first?

and if Atlantsi finds Europe and the Americas

Both of these questions must be answered with another question: What motivates the Native Americans/Atlanteans to explore lands beyond their shores?
Sea travel in ancient times was highly risky. Remember, the compass and the centrally mounted rubber have not spread outside of China around this era.
