The ghost can rebuild you from scratch (Destiny)
I would assume it could do things like add a few pairs to the end of your telomeres every so often and bump off any cancerous cells while doing so. So like a lobster, you are functionally immortal.
Likewise humans via genetic engineering have been adjusted to live over 130 years. Awoken live even longer, due to being trapped between pulses of Light and Dark and having that mess with them.
The initial concept was that the golden age lasted a long time. Long enough for several small wars to break out and be resolved, and for exploration of other star systems. The city itself took time to build, even after gathering people to it, several hundred years at least.
